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!
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
