14:1
For the director.
Of David.
A fool says in his heart, “There is no God’.
They cause ruin.
They do abominable things.
There is no-one doing good.
14:2
Yahweh from the heavens crouches down to look upon the sons of man,
to see ‘Is there a wise one (maschil) seeking God?’
14:3
Has each one turned aside?
Together they have become corrupt.
There is none doing good.
There is not even one.
14:4
Do all the workers of wickedness not know?
Eating my people, they eat bread. [Comparative structure ‘They eat my people like the eat bread’.]
They do not call, ‘Yahweh’.
14:5
There they dread dread
For God is with a righteous generation.
14:6
You [pl] put to shame the counsel of the afflicted
because Yahweh is their refuge,
14:7
who gives from Zion [the] salvation of Israel
when Yahweh turned back the captivity of his people.
Let Jacob rejoice.
Let Israel be happy.
