Salme 14 Synth Tåberne siger ved sig selv:
"Gud er ikke til!"
De handler ondt og afskyeligt,
ingen gør godt.
sopr solo:
Herren ser fra himlen
ned over menneskene
for at se, om der er en forstandig,
én der søger Gud.
tutti:
De er alle kommet på afveje,
alle er fordærvede;
ingen gør godt,
ikke en eneste.
solister:
Forstår de intet, alle de forbrydere,
som lever af at æde mit folk?
De påkalder ikke Herren.
tutti:
Da skal de gribes af rædsel,
for Gud er med en retfærdig slægt.
Gør blot den hjælpeløses planer til skamme,
Herren er dog hans tilflugt!
Gid Israels frelse må komme fra Zion!
fuga:
Når Herren vender sit folks skæbne,
skal Jakob juble og Israel glæde sig. Sl 14 | Psalm 14 The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth good.
sopr solo:
The LORD looked down from heaven
upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand,
and seek God.
tutti:
They are all gone aside,
they are all together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.
soloists:
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and call not upon the LORD.
tutti:
There were they in great fear:
for God is in the generation of the righteous.
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor,
because the LORD is his refuge.
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
fugue:
when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. KJV Psalms 14 |
