Psalms 53

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

Ang mangmang ay nagsabi sa puso niya, Walang Dios. Nangapahamak (sila) at nagsigawa ng kasuklamsuklam na kasamaan; walang gumawa ng mabuti.

2 God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

Tinunghan ng Dios ang mga anak ng mga tao mula sa langit, upang tignan kung may sinomang nakakaunawa, na humanap sa Dios.

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Bawa't isa sa kanila ay tumalikod: sila'y magkakasamang naging mahahalay; walang gumawa ng mabuti, wala, wala kahit isa.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?

Wala bang kaalaman ang mga manggagawa ng kasamaan? na siyang kumakain ng aking bayan na tila kumakain ng tinapay, at hindi nagsisitawag sa Dios.

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

Doo'y nangapasa malaking katakutan (sila) na hindi kinaroroonan ng takot: sapagka't pinangalat ng Dios ang mga buto niya na humahantong laban sa iyo; iyong inilagay (sila) sa kahihiyan, sapagka't itinakuwil (sila) ng Dios.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Oh kung ang kaligtasan ng Israel ay lumabas sa Sion. Pagka ibabalik ng Dios ang nangabihag ng kaniyang bayan, magagalak nga ang Jacob at matutuwa ang Israel.
