Liber Psalmorum, 14

0.

0. To the choirmaster. Of David.

1. Magistro chori. David. Dixit insipiens in corde suo: “Non est Deus”. Corrupti sunt et abominationes operati sunt; non est qui faciat bonum.

1. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good.

2. Dominus de caelo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videret si est intellegens aut requirens Deum.

2. The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God.

3. Omnes declinaverunt, simul corrupti sunt; non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

3. They have all gone astray, they are all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one.

4. Nonne scient omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis? Dominum non invocaverunt;

4. Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon the LORD?

5. illic trepidaverunt timore, quoniam Deus cum generatione iusta est.

5. There they shall be in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous.

6. Vos consilium inopis confundetis, Dominus autem spes eius est.

6. You would confound the plans of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

7. Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israel? Cum converterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suae, exsultabit Iacob, et laetabitur Israel.

7. O that deliverance for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.
