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

¹The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.

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

²Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

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

³They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does 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 don’t call on Yahweh?

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

⁵There they were 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.

⁶You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh 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 would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
