(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
No One Can Ignore the Lord
1 Only a fool would say,
“There is no God!”
People like that are worthless;
they are heartless and cruel
and never do right.
2 From heaven the Lord
looks down to see
if anyone is wise enough
to search for him.
3 But all of them are corrupt;
no one does right.
4 Won't you evil people learn?
You refuse to pray,
and you gobble up
the Lord's people.
5 But you will be frightened,
because God is on the side
of every good person.
6 You may spoil the plans
of the poor,
but the Lord protects them.
7 I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our Lord, when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.

(Ps 53:1–7)1 Korvedim. Dāvida psalms.
Nelga saka sev sirdī: Dieva nav!
Tie sagrauj un sagāna visu, ko ņem, –
nav neviena, kas darītu laba!
2 Kungs no debesīm raugās uz cilvēku dēliem –
vai ir kāds prātīgs, kas meklētu Dievu?
3 Tie visi atkritēji, visi samaitāti,
nav neviena, kas darītu labu,
neviena paša!
4 Vai bez prāta tie netaisnības darītāji?
Tie ēd manu tautu kā maizi!
Kungu pat nepiemin!
5 Gan trūktin tie trūksies,
jo Dievs ir taisno pulkā.
6 Nabaga nodomu jūs nievājat,
kad pie Kunga tas tveras.
7 Kaut nāktu no Ciānas
glābiņš Israēlam!
Kad Kungs pārvedīs savu tautu,
līksmosies Jēkabs un priecāsies Israēls!
