1For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.
1¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Maharata. He Makiri, na Rawiri. Kua ki te wairangi i roto i tona ngakau, Kahore he Atua. Kua pirau ratou, he kino whakahouhou ta ratou mahi; kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai.
2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.
2I titiro iho te Atua i te rangi ki nga tama a te tangata, kia kite me kahore tetahi e mahara ana, e rapu ana i te Atua.
3Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
3Kua hoki ki muri ratou katoa, kua pirau tahi: kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai, kahore kia kotahi.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon God?
4E kore ranei e mohio nga kaimahi i te kino? e kai nei i toku iwi, me te mea e kai taro ana; a kahore e karanga ki te Atua.
5There were 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 of God hath rejected them.
5Wehi noa iho ratou i reira, i te wahi kahore he wehi, no te mea kua titaria e te Atua nga wheua o te tangata i whakapaea ai koe: kua whakama ratou i a koe; no te mea kua whakahaweatia ratou e te Atua
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
6Aue, me i puta mai te whakaoranga o Iharaira i Hiona! Kia whakahokia mai e te Atua tana iwi i te whakarau, ka whakamanamana a Hakopa, ka hari a Iharaira.
