Par cilvēku samaitātību
(Ps 14:1–7)1 Korvedim. Uz sēru kokles. Dāvida psalms .
2 Nelga saka sev sirdī: nav Dieva! –
Tie grauj un sagāna ar ļaunu,
nav neviena, kas darītu labu!
3 Dievs no debesīm raugās uz cilvēku dēliem –
vai ir kāds prātīgs, kas meklētu Dievu?
4 Tie visi atkritēji, visi samaitāti,
nav labdara, nav neviena!
5 Vai bez prāta netaisnības darītāji?
Tie manu tautu ēd kā maizi! Dievu pat nepiemin!
6 Gan trūktin trūksies, kas nelikās trūkties, –
izsvaidīs Dievs tavu lencēju kaulus!
Tu liksi tos kaunā, jo Dievs tos atstumj!
7 Kaut nāktu no Ciānas glābiņš Israēlam!
Kad Dievs ļaus savai tautai atgūties,
līksmosies Jēkabs un priecāsies Israēls!
(A special psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune “Mahalath.” )
No One Can Ignore God
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 God
looks down to see
if anyone is wise enough
to search for him.
3 But all of them
are crooked and corrupt.
Not one of them does right.
4 Won't you lawbreakers learn?
You refuse to pray,
and you gobble up
the people of God.
5 But you will be terrified
worse than ever before.
God will scatter the bones
of his enemies,
and you will be ashamed
when God rejects you.
6 I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our God, when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.
