1 Sinasabi ng mangmang sa kaniyang puso, “Walang Diyos.” (Sila) ay masama at nakagawa ng kasuklam-suklam na kasalanan; walang sinuman ang gumagawa ng mabuti.
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 Si Yahweh ay tumingin sa baba mula sa langit sa mga anak ng sangkatauhan para makita kung mayroong sinuman ang nakauunawa, kung sino ang naghahanap sa kaniya.
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 Ang lahat ay tumalikod; ang lahat ay naging marumi; walang sinuman ang gumagawa ng mabuti, wala, kahit isa.
They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.
4 Hindi ba nila alam ang kahit na ano, (sila) na nakagawa ng kasalanan, (sila) na nilalamon ang aking mga tao gaya ng pagkain ng tinapay, pero hindi tumatawag kay Yahweh?
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 (Sila) ay nanginginig ng may pangamba, dahil kasama ng Diyos ang matuwid na kapulungan!
Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.
6 Gusto mong hiyain ang taong mahirap kahit na si Yahweh ang kaniyang kanlungan.
You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.
7 Oh, ang kaligtasan ng Israel ay manggagaling mula sa Sion! Kapag binalik ni Yahweh ang kaniyang bayan mula sa pagkakabihag, magagalak si Jacob at matutuwa ang Israel!
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.
