1 Kvailys pasakė savo širdyje: "Nėra Dievo". Jie sugedo, elgiasi bjauriai, nėra, kas gera darytų.

2 Viešpats pažiūrėjo į žmones iš dangaus, kad pamatytų, ar yra kas išmano ir ieško Dievo.

3 Jie visi nuklydo, visi kartu sugedo. Nėra darančio gera, nėra nė vieno.

4 Ar nesupranta piktadariai, kurie mano tautą ryja kaip duoną ir nesišaukia Viešpaties?

5 Jie buvo labai išgąsdinti, nes su teisiaisiais yra Dievas.

6 Jūs laikote nieku vargšą, bet jo priebėga yra Viešpats.

7 O kad iš Siono ateitų išgelbėjimas Izraeliui! Kai Viešpats išlaisvins savo tautą, džiaugsis Jokūbas, linksminsis Izraelis!

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

7 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
