Salmos 14
Reina-Valera 1960

Necedad y corrupción del hombre

(Sal. 53.1-6)

Al músico principal. Salmo de David.

14 Dice el necio en su corazón:

No hay Dios.

Se han corrompido, hacen obras abominables;

No hay quien haga el bien.

2 Jehová miró desde los cielos sobre los hijos de los hombres,

Para ver si había algún entendido,

Que buscara a Dios.

3 Todos se desviaron, a una se han corrompido;

No hay quien haga lo bueno, no hay ni siquiera uno.(A)

4 ¿No tienen discernimiento todos los que hacen iniquidad,

Que devoran a mi pueblo como si comiesen pan,

Y a Jehová no invocan?

5 Ellos temblaron de espanto;

Porque Dios está con la generación de los justos.

6 Del consejo del pobre se han burlado,

Pero Jehová es su esperanza.

7 ¡Oh, que de Sion saliera la salvación de Israel!

Cuando Jehová hiciere volver a los cautivos de su pueblo,

Se gozará Jacob, y se alegrará Israel.

Salmos 14
Dios Habla Hoy

Perversión del hombre(A)

(1a) Del maestro de coro. De David.

14 (1b) Los necios piensan que no hay Dios:
todos se han pervertido;
han hecho cosas horribles;
¡no hay nadie que haga lo bueno!
2 Desde el cielo mira el Señor a los hombres
para ver si hay alguien con entendimiento,
alguien que busque a Dios.
3 Pero todos se han ido por mal camino;
todos por igual se han pervertido.
¡Ya no hay quien haga lo bueno!
¡No hay ni siquiera uno!

4 No tienen entendimiento los malhechores,
los que se comen a mi pueblo como quien come pan,
los que no invocan el nombre del Señor.
5 Temblarán llenos de miedo,
pues Dios está con los que lo obedecen.
6 Se burlan de los anhelos del humilde,
pero el Señor lo protege.

7 ¡Ojalá que del monte Sión
venga la salvación de Israel!
Cuando el Señor haga cambiar la suerte de su pueblo,
se alegrarán los descendientes de Jacob,
todo el pueblo de Israel.

Psalm 14
New International Version

Psalm 14(A)

For the director of music. Of David.

1 The fool[a] says in his heart,
    “There is no God.”(B)
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
    there is no one who does good.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven(C)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(D)
    any who seek God.(E)
3 All have turned away,(F) all have become corrupt;(G)
    there is no one who does good,(H)
    not even one.(I)

4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?(J)

They devour my people(K) as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.(L)
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge.(M)

7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(N)
    When the Lord restores(O) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Psalm 14
New English Translation

Psalm 14[a]

For the music director, by David.

14 Fools say to themselves,[b] “There is no God.”[c]
They sin and commit evil deeds;[d]
none of them does what is right.[e]
2 The Lord looks down from heaven[f] at the human race,[g]
to see if there is anyone who is wise[h] and seeks God.[i]
3 Everyone rejects God;[j]
they are all morally corrupt.[k]
None of them does what is right,[l]
not even one.
4 All those who behave wickedly[m] do not understand—[n]
those who devour my people as if they were eating bread,
and do not call out to the Lord.
5 They are absolutely terrified,[o]
for God defends the godly.[p]
6 You want to humiliate the oppressed,[q]
even though[r] the Lord is their[s] shelter.
7 I wish the deliverance[t] of Israel would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the well-being of his people,[u]
may Jacob rejoice,[v]
may Israel be happy![w]

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 14:1 sn Psalm 14. The psalmist observes that the human race is morally corrupt. Evildoers oppress God’s people, but the psalmist is confident of God’s protection and anticipates a day when God will vindicate Israel.
  2. Psalm 14:1 tn Heb “a fool says in his heart.” The singular is used here in a collective or representative sense; the typical fool is envisioned.
  3. Psalm 14:1 sn “There is no God.” The statement is probably not a philosophical assertion that God does not exist, but rather a confident affirmation that God is unconcerned about how men live morally and ethically (see Ps 10:4, 11).
  4. Psalm 14:1 tn Heb “they act corruptly, they make a deed evil.” The verbs describe the typical behavior of the wicked. The subject of the plural verbs is “sons of man” (v. 2). The entire human race is characterized by sinful behavior. This practical atheism—living as if there is no God who will hold them accountable for their actions—makes them fools, for one of the earmarks of folly is to fail to anticipate the long range consequences of one’s behavior.
  5. Psalm 14:1 tn Heb “there is none that does good.”
  6. Psalm 14:2 sn The picture of the Lord looking down from heaven draws attention to his sovereignty over the world.
  7. Psalm 14:2 tn Heb “upon the sons of man.”
  8. Psalm 14:2 tn Or “acts wisely.” The Hiphil is exhibitive.
  9. Psalm 14:2 sn Anyone who is wise and seeks God refers to the person who seeks to have a relationship with God by obeying and worshiping him.
  10. Psalm 14:3 tn Heb “everyone turns aside.”
  11. Psalm 14:3 tn Heb “together they are corrupt.”
  12. Psalm 14:3 tn Heb “there is none that does good.”
  13. Psalm 14:4 tn Heb “all the workers of wickedness.” See Pss 5:5; 6:8.
  14. Psalm 14:4 tn Heb “Do they not understand?” The rhetorical question (rendered in the translation as a positive affirmation) expresses the psalmist’s amazement at their apparent lack of understanding. This may refer to their lack of moral understanding, but it more likely refers to their failure to anticipate God’s defense of his people (see vv. 5-7).
  15. Psalm 14:5 tn Heb “there they are afraid [with] fear.” The perfect verbal form is probably used in a rhetorical manner; the psalmist describes the future demise of the oppressors as if it were already occurring. The adverb שָׁם (sham, “there”) is also used here for dramatic effect, as the psalmist envisions the wicked standing in fear at a spot that is this vivid in his imagination (BDB 1027 s.v.). The cognate accusative following the verb emphasizes the degree of their terror.
  16. Psalm 14:5 tn Heb “for God is with a godly generation.” The Hebrew noun דּוֹר (dor, “generation”) refers here to the general class of people who are characterized by godliness. See BDB 190 s.v. for other examples where “generation” refers to a class of people.
  17. Psalm 14:6 tn Heb “the counsel of the oppressed you put to shame.” Using a second person plural verb form, the psalmist addresses the wicked. Since the context indicates their attempt to harm the godly will be thwarted, the imperfect should be taken in a subjunctive (cf. NASB, NRSV) rather than an indicative manner (cf. NIV). Here it probably expresses their desire or intent (“want to humiliate”).
  18. Psalm 14:6 tn It is unlikely that כִּי (ki) has a causal force here. The translation assumes a concessive force; another option is to understand an asseverative use (“certainly, indeed”).
  19. Psalm 14:6 tn Heb “his.” The antecedent of the singular pronoun is the singular form עָנִי (ʿani, “oppressed”) in the preceding line. The singular is collective or representative here (and thus translated as plural, “they”).
  20. Psalm 14:7 sn The deliverance of Israel. This refers metonymically to God, the one who lives in Zion and provides deliverance for Israel.
  21. Psalm 14:7 tn Heb “turns with a turning [toward] his people.” The Hebrew term שְׁבוּת (shevut) is apparently a cognate accusative of שׁוּב (shuv).
  22. Psalm 14:7 tn The verb form is jussive.
  23. Psalm 14:7 tn Because the parallel verb is jussive, this verb, which is ambiguous in form, should be taken as a jussive as well.
