¹Ang mangmang ay nagsabi sa kaniyang puso, walang Dios: sila'y nangapapahamak, sila'y nagsigawa ng kasuklamsuklam na mga gawa; walang gumagawa ng mabuti,

¹For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

²Tinutunghan ng Panginoon ang mga anak ng mga tao mula sa langit, upang tingnan, kung may sinomang nakakaunawa, na hinahanap ng Dios.

²Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

³Silang lahat ay nagsihiwalay; sila'y magkakasama na naging kahalayhalay; walang gumagawa ng mabuti, wala, wala kahit isa.

³They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁴Wala bang kaalaman ang lahat na manggagawa ng kasamaan? na siyang nagsisikain sa aking bayan na tila nagsisikain ng tinapay, at hindi nagsisitawag sa Panginoon.

⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

⁵Doo'y nangapasa malaking katakutan sila: sapagka't ang Dios ay nasa lahi ng matuwid.

⁵There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁶Inyong inilalagay sa kahihiyan ang payo ng dukha, sapagka't ang Panginoon ang kaniyang kanlungan.

⁶Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

⁷Oh kung ang kaligtasan ng Israel ay nanggagaling sa Sion! Kung ibabalik ng Panginoon ang nangabihag ng kaniyang bayan, magagalak nga ang Jacob, at masasayahan ang Israel.

⁷Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
