Psalmi 53

1 Dāvida mācības dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim ar stabulēm. Ģeķis saka savā sirdī: Dieva nav. Tie samaitājās un sagānās ar netaisnību, nav neviena, kas labu dara.

For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.

2 Dievs skatās no debesīm uz cilvēku bērniem, redzēt, vai jel kas esot prātīgs, kas Dievu meklē.

God looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

3 Bet tie visi atkāpušies, tie kopā samaitājušies; nav, kas labu dara, it neviena.

Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Vai tad to neatzīst tie ļauna darītāji, kas manus ļaudis ēd, kā ēd maizi, bet Dievu tie nepiesauc.

'Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?'

5 Tad tiem uzkrita bailes, kur bailes nebija; jo Dievs izklīdināja tavu spaidītāju kaulus; Tu tos liki kaunā, jo Dievs tos bija atmetis.

There are 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 rejected them.

6 Ak, kaut Israēla pestīšana nāktu no Ciānas! Kad Dievs novērsīs Savu ļaužu cietumu, tad Jēkabs priecāsies un Israēls līksmosies.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
