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

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

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

4 Argi nesupranta piktadariai, kurie ryja mano tautą lyg duoną? Ir Dievo jie nesišaukia.

5 Jie drebėjo iš baimės, kai nebuvo ko bijoti. Dievas išsklaidė kaulus tų, kurie tave apgulė. Jie buvo sugėdinti, nes Dievas paniekino juos.

6 O kad ateitų iš Siono išgelbėjimas Izraeliui! Kai Dievas parves savo tautos belaisvius, džiaugsis Jokūbas, linksminsis Izraelis!

2 \53:1\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.

3 \53:2\God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

4 \53:3\Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

5 \53:4\Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

6 \53:5\They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

7 \53:6\May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! When the fate of his people is changed by God, Jacob will have joy, and Israel will be glad.
