For the director of music. According to mahalath.Title: Probably a musical term A maskilTitle: Probably a literary or musical term of David.

1The fool says in his heart,

“There is no God.”

They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;

there is no one who does good.

2God looks down from heaven

on all mankind

to see if there are any who understand,

any who seek God.

3Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;

there is no one who does good,

not even one.

4Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;

they never call on God.

5But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,

where there was nothing to dread.

God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;

you put them to shame, for God despised them.

6Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

When God restores his people,

let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Zaburi 53:1-6

Zaburi 53

Uovu Wa Wanadamu

(Zaburi 14)

Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa mahalathi. Utenzi wa Daudi.

153:1 Za 107:17; 74:22; 10:4; Mit 10:23; Rum 3:10Mpumbavu anasema moyoni mwake,

“Hakuna Mungu.”

Wameharibika, na njia zao ni za uovu kabisa,

hakuna hata mmoja atendaye mema.

253:2 Za 33:13; 82:5; Yer 4:22; 8:8; 2Nya 15:2Mungu anawachungulia wanadamu chini

kutoka mbinguni

aone kama wako wenye akili,

wowote wanaomtafuta Mungu.

353:3 Rum 3:10-12; Mhu 7:29Kila mmoja amegeukia mbali,

wameharibika wote pamoja,

hakuna atendaye mema.

Naam, hakuna hata mmoja!

453:4 Yer 4:22Je, watendao mabaya kamwe hawatajifunza:

wale ambao huwala watu wangu

kama watu walavyo mkate,

hao ambao hawamwiti Mungu?

553:5 Law 26:17; Eze 6:5; 2Fal 17:20; 23:14; Za 141:7; Mao 5:22; Yer 6:30; 14:19; 8:1; Ay 8:22Hapo waliingiwa na hofu kuu,

ambapo hapakuwa cha kutetemesha.

Mungu alitawanya mifupa ya wale waliokushambulia;

uliwaaibisha, kwa sababu Mungu aliwadharau.

6Laiti wokovu wa Israeli ungalikuja kutoka Sayuni!

Wakati Mungu arejeshapo wafungwa wa watu wake,

Yakobo na ashangilie, Israeli na afurahi!
