PSALM 14

the way of peace they have not known


VUC  Psalm 13:1 In finem. Psalmus David

DRA  Psalm 13:1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.

. Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in studiis suis; non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.

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

 3 Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt. Non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant. Venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum, quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est; veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem. Contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum, et viam pacis non cognoverunt; non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.

 4 Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?

 5 Dominum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.

 6 Quoniam Dominus in generatione justa est: consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes ejus est.

 7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? Cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suae, exsultabit Jacob, et laetabitur Israël.

2 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.

 3 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

 4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?

 5 They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

 6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.

 7 Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
