(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!
Human Wickedness
(Psalm 53)1 Fools say to themselves,
“There is no God!”
They are all corrupt,
and they have done terrible things;
there is no one who does what is right.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3 But they have all gone wrong;
they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.
4 “Don't they know?” asks the Lord.
“Are all these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
and they never pray to me.”
5 But then they will be terrified,
for God is with those who obey him.
6 Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble,
but the Lord is their protection.
7 How I pray that victory
will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
when the Lord makes them prosperous again!
