Psalms 53

1 To him that excelleth on Mahalath. A Psalme of David to give instruction. The foole hath saide in his heart, There is no God. they haue corrupted and done abominable wickednes: there is none that doeth good.

Dāvida mācības dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim ar stabulēm. Ģeķis saka savā sirdī: Dieva nav. Tie samaitājās un sagānās ar netaisnību, nav neviena, kas labu dara.

2 God looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

Dievs skatās no debesīm uz cilvēku bērniem, redzēt, vai jel kas esot prātīgs, kas Dievu meklē.

3 Euery one is gone backe: they are altogether corrupt: there is none that doth good, no not one.

Bet tie visi atkāpušies, tie kopā samaitājušies; nav, kas labu dara, it neviena.

4 Doe not the workers of iniquitie knowe that they eate vp my people as they eate bread? they call not vpon God.

Vai tad to neatzīst tie ļauna darītāji, kas manus ļaudis ēd, kā ēd maizi, bet Dievu tie nepiesauc.

5 There they were afraide for feare, where no feare was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that besieged thee: thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath cast them off.

Tad tiem uzkrita bailes, kur bailes nebija; jo Dievs izklīdināja tavu spaidītāju kaulus; Tu tos liki kaunā, jo Dievs tos bija atmetis.

6 Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when God turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shalbe glad.

Ak, kaut Israēla pestīšana nāktu no Ciānas! Kad Dievs novērsīs Savu ļaužu cietumu, tad Jēkabs priecāsies un Israēls līksmosies.
