Open English Translation PSA Chapter 14

14 For the musical director: a song by David.

14 Godless people convince themselves that there is no God.

They behave corruptly and do evil things.

No one really does what is good.[ref]

2 Yahweh looks down at humanity from the heavens

to see if there are any who understand—who make an effort to discover him.

3 They’ve all turned away.

Together they’ve become corrupt.

There isn’t anyone who does good—no one.

4 Don’t those evil people know anything—

those who eat up my people just like they’d eat bread,

but they don’t request help from Yahweh?

5 They tremble with dread,

because God is with those who desire to obey him.

6 You want to humiliate poor people,

even though they go to Yahweh to find safety.

7 If only help would come from Tsiyyon (Zion to rescue Yisrael.

When Yahweh brings back his people from where they were taken as captives,

then Yacob (Jacob) will rejoice and Yisrael will be glad!
