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.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
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 has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
3 Ang lahat ay tumalikod; ang lahat ay naging marumi; walang sinuman ang gumagawa ng mabuti, wala, kahit isa.
They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
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?
Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?
5 (Sila) ay nanginginig ng may pangamba, dahil kasama ng Diyos ang matuwid na kapulungan!
They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
6 Gusto mong hiyain ang taong mahirap kahit na si Yahweh ang kaniyang kanlungan.
For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.
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!
Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
