¹{To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

¹Laulujuhatajale: kurval viisil laulda; Taaveti õpetuslaul.

²God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

²Meeletu ütleb oma südames: 'Jumalat ei ole!' Nad talitavad riivatult ja jõledasti, ei ole kedagi, kes head teeb.

³Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

³Jumal vaatab taevast inimlaste peale, et näha, kas on mõistlikku, kedagi, kes otsib Jumalat.

⁴Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon God.

⁴Kõik nad on taganenud, üheskoos on nad läinud raisku; ei ole kedagi, kes head teeb, mitte ühtainustki.

⁵There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised them.

⁵Kas seda siis ei mõista need, kes teevad nurjatust, kes söövad mu rahvast, nagu süüakse leiba? Jumala poole nad ei hüüa.

⁶Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

⁶Seal valdab neid hirm, kus ei ole hirmu põhjust, sest Jumal pillab laiali selle luud, kes seab leeri sinu vastu. Sa saadad nad häbisse, sest Jumal on nad hüljanud.

⁷Oh, et Iisraelile tuleks pääste Siionist! Kui Jumal oma rahva vangipõlve pöörab, siis hakkab Jaakob ilutsema, Iisrael saab rõõmsaks.
