Awit 53
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
53 Ang mangmang ay nagsabi sa puso niya, Walang Dios. Nangapahamak sila, at nagsigawa ng kasuklamsuklam na kasamaan; walang gumawa ng mabuti.
2 Tinunghan ng Dios ang mga anak ng mga tao mula sa langit, upang tignan kung may sinomang nakakaunawa, na humanap sa Dios.
3 Bawa't isa sa kanila ay tumalikod: sila'y magkakasamang naging mahahalay; walang gumawa ng mabuti, wala, wala kahit isa.
4 Wala bang kaalaman ang mga manggagawa ng kasamaan? na siyang kumakain ng aking bayan na tila kumakain ng tinapay, at hindi nagsisitawag sa Dios.
5 Doo'y nangapasa malaking katakutan sila na hindi kinaroroonan ng takot: sapagka't pinangalat ng Dios ang mga buto niya na humahantong laban sa iyo; iyong inilagay sila sa kahihiyan, sapagka't itinakuwil sila ng Dios.
6 Oh kung ang kaligtasan ng Israel ay lumabas sa Sion. Pagka ibabalik ng Dios ang nangabihag ng kaniyang bayan, magagalak nga ang Jacob at matutuwa ang Israel.
Psalm 53
New King James Version
Folly of the Godless, and the Restoration of Israel(A)
To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A [a]Contemplation of David.
53 The (B)fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
(C)There is none who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who (D)seek God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity (E)no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?
5 (F)There they are in great fear
Where no fear was,
For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;
You have put them to shame,
Because God has despised them.
6 (G)Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back [b]the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
