To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732. The foolH5036 hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, There is no GodH430. They are corruptH7843, they have done abominableH8581 worksH5949, there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896.
The LORDH3068 looked downH8259 from heavenH8064 upon the childrenH1121 of menH120, to seeH7200 if thereH3426 were any that did understandH7919, and seekH1875 GodH430.
They are all gone asideH5493, they are all togetherH3162 become filthyH444: there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896, no, not oneH259. {filthy: Heb. stinking}
Have all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 no knowledgeH3045? who eat upH398 my peopleH5971 as they eatH398 breadH3899, and callH7121 not upon the LORDH3068.
There were they in greatH6343 fearH6342: for GodH430 is in the generationH1755 of the righteousH6662. {were…: Heb. they feared a fear}
Ye have shamedH954 the counselH6098 of the poorH6041, because the LORDH3068 is his refugeH4268.
Oh thatH5414 the salvationH3444 of IsraelH3478 were come out of ZionH6726! when the LORDH3068 bringeth backH7725 the captivityH7622 of his peopleH5971, JacobH3290 shall rejoiceH1523, and IsraelH3478 shall be gladH8055. {Oh…: Heb. Who will give}
Querverweise zu Psalm 14,1 Ps 14,1
The wickedH7563, through the prideH1363 of his countenanceH639, will not seekH1875 after God: GodH430 is not in all his thoughtsH4209. {God is…: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068. The transgressionH6588 of the wickedH7563 saithH5002 withinH7130 my heartH3820, that there is no fearH6343 of GodH430 before his eyesH5869.
For he flatterethH2505 himself in his own eyesH5869, until his iniquityH5771 be foundH4672 to be hatefulH8130. {until…: Heb. to find his iniquity to hate}
The wordsH1697 of his mouthH6310 are iniquityH205 and deceitH4820: he hath left offH2308 to be wiseH7919, and to do goodH3190.
He devisethH2803 mischiefH205 upon his bedH4904; he settethH3320 himself in a wayH1870 that is not goodH2896; he abhorrethH3988 not evilH7451. {mischief: or, vanity}
How much more abominableH8581 and filthyH444 is manH376, which drinkethH8354 iniquityH5766+H5766 like waterH4325?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, There isG2076 noneG3756 righteousG1342, no, notG3761 oneG1520:
There isG2076 noneG3756 that understandethG4920, there isG2076 noneG3756 that seeketh afterG1567 GodG2316.
They areG1578 allG3956 gone out of the wayG1578, they areG889 togetherG260 become unprofitableG889; there isG2076 noneG3756 that doethG4160 goodG5544, no, notG3756 oneG2076+G2193+G1520.
To the chief MusicianH5329, MaschilH4905, A Psalm of DavidH1732, when DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 cameH935 and toldH5046 SaulH7586, and saidH559 unto him, DavidH1732 is comeH935 to the houseH1004 of AhimelechH288. Why boastestH1984 thou thyself in mischiefH7451, O mightyH1368 man? the goodnessH2617 of GodH410 endureth continuallyH3117.
Thy tongueH3956 devisethH2803 mischiefsH1942; like a sharpH3913 razorH8593, workingH6213 deceitfullyH7423.
Thou lovestH157 evilH7451 more than goodH2896; and lyingH8267 rather than to speakH1696 righteousnessH6664. SelahH5542.
Thou lovestH157 all devouringH1105 wordsH1697, O thou deceitfulH4820 tongueH3956. {O thou…: or, and the deceitful tongue}
GodH410 shall likewise destroyH5422 thee for everH5331, he shall take thee awayH2846, and pluck thee outH5255 of thy dwelling placeH168, and root thee outH8327 of the landH776 of the livingH2416. SelahH5542. {destroy…: Heb. beat thee down}
The righteousH6662 also shall seeH7200, and fearH3372, and shall laughH7832 at him:
How long shall they utterH5042 and speakH1696 hard thingsH6277? and all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 boastH559 themselves?
They break in piecesH1792 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and afflictH6031 thine heritageH5159.
They slayH2026 the widowH490 and the strangerH1616, and murderH7523 the fatherlessH3490.
Yet they sayH559, The LORDH3050 shall not seeH7200, neither shall the GodH430 of JacobH3290 regardH995 it.
UnderstandH995, ye brutishH1197 among the peopleH5971: and ye foolsH3684, when will ye be wiseH7919?
O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG1410, beingG5607 evilG4190, speakG2980 good thingsG18? forG1063 out ofG1537 the abundanceG4051 of the heartG2588 the mouthG4750 speakethG2980.
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
FoolsH191 becauseH1870 of their transgressionH6588, and because of their iniquitiesH5771, are afflictedH6031.
And thou sayestH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? can he judgeH8199 through the dark cloudH6205? {How: or, What}
And GODH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7451 of manH120 was greatH7227 in the earthH776, and that every imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7535 evilH7451 continuallyH3117. {every…: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires} {continually: Heb. every day}
ForG1063 out ofG1537 the heartG2588 proceedG1831 evilG4190 thoughtsG1261, murdersG5408, adulteriesG3430, fornicationsG4202, theftsG2829, false witnessG5577, blasphemiesG988:
LetH7760 not my lordH113, I pray thee, regardH3820 this manH376 of BelialH1100, even NabalH5037: for as his nameH8034 is, so is he; NabalH5037 is his nameH8034, and follyH5039 is with him: but I thine handmaidH519 sawH7200 not the young menH5288 of my lordH113, whom thou didst sendH7971. {regard: Heb. lay it to his heart} {Nabal: that is, Fool}
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
The earthH776 also was corruptH7843 beforeH6440 GodH430, and the earthH776 was filledH4390 with violenceH2555.
AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076 the condemnationG2920, thatG3754 lightG5457 is comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 menG444 lovedG25 darknessG4655 ratherG3123 thanG2228 lightG5457, becauseG1063 theirG846 deedsG2041 wereG2258 evilG4190.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of knowledgeH1847: but foolsH191 despiseH936 wisdomH2451 and instructionH4148. {the beginning: or, the principal part}
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
And GodH430 lookedH7200 upon the earthH776, and, behold, it was corruptH7843; for all fleshH1320 had corruptedH7843 his wayH1870 upon the earthH776.
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that doethG4238 evilG5337 hatethG3404 the lightG5457, neitherG2532+G3756 comethG2064 toG4314 the lightG5457, lestG3363 hisG846 deedsG2041 should be reprovedG1651. {reproved: or, discovered}
How long, ye simple onesH6612, will ye loveH157 simplicityH6612? and the scornersH3887 delightH2530 in their scorningH3944, and foolsH3684 hateH8130 knowledgeH1847?
AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nationH1471, a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquityH5771, a seedH2233 of evildoersH7489, childrenH1121 that are corruptersH7843: they have forsakenH5800+H853 the LORDH3068, they have provokedH5006+H853 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 unto angerH5006, they are gone awayH2114 backwardH268. {laden: Heb. of heaviness} {gone…: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
BecauseG1360 that, when they knewG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316, neitherG2228 were thankfulG2168; butG235 became vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG1261, andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654.
Professing themselvesG5335 to beG1511 wiseG4680, they became foolsG3471,
AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made likeG3667 to corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of their ownG846 heartsG2588, to dishonourG818 their ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438:
WhoG3748 changedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 intoG1722 a lieG5579, andG2532 worshippedG4573 andG2532 servedG3000 the creatureG2937 more thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, whoG3739 isG2076 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {more: or, rather}
ForG1223 thisG5124 cause GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 untoG1519 vileG819 affectionsG3806: forG1063 evenG5037 theirG846 womenG2338 did changeG3337 the naturalG5446 useG5540 intoG1519 that which is againstG3844 natureG5449:
AndG5037 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the menG730, leavingG863 the naturalG5446 useG5540 of the womanG2338, burnedG1572 inG1722 theirG846 lustG3715 one toward anotherG1519+G240; menG730 withG1722 menG730 workingG2716 that which is unseemlyG808, andG2532 receivingG618 inG1722 themselvesG1438 that recompenceG489 of theirG846 errorG4106 whichG3739 was meetG1163.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
Being filled withG4137 allG3956 unrighteousnessG93, fornicationG4202, wickednessG4189, covetousnessG4124, maliciousnessG2549; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, debateG2054, deceitG1388, malignityG2550; whisperersG5588,
BackbitersG2637, haters of GodG2319, despitefulG5197, proudG5244, boastersG213, inventorsG2182 of evil thingsG2556, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118,
Without understandingG801, covenantbreakersG802, without natural affectionG794, implacableG786, unmercifulG415: {without natural…: or unsociable}
WhoG3748 knowingG1921 the judgmentG1345 of GodG2316, thatG3754 they which commitG4238 such thingsG5108 areG1526 worthyG514 of deathG2288, notG3756 onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, butG235+G2532 have pleasureG4909 in them that doG4238 them. {have…: or, consent with}
The desireH8378 accomplishedH1961 is sweetH6149 to the soulH5315: but it is abominationH8441 to foolsH3684 to departH5493 from evilH7451.
They professG3670 that they knowG1492 GodG2316; butG1161 in worksG2041 they denyG720 him, beingG5607 abominableG947, andG2532 disobedientG545, andG2532 untoG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 reprobateG96. {reprobate: or, void of judgment}
Though thou shouldest brayH3806 a foolH191 in a mortarH4388 amongH8432 wheatH7383 with a pestleH5940, yet will not his foolishnessH200 departH5493 from him.
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
ButG1161 the fearfulG1169, andG2532 unbelievingG571, andG2532 the abominableG948, andG2532 murderersG5406, andG2532 whoremongersG4205, andG2532 sorcerersG5332, andG2532 idolatersG1496, andG2532 allG3956 liarsG5571, shall have theirG846 partG3313 inG1722 the lakeG3041 whichG3588 burnethG2545 with fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303: which isG3603 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
