To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 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.
Mpumbavu amesema moyoni, Hakuna Mungu; Wameharibu matendo yao na kuyafanya chukizo, Hakuna atendaye mema.
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God.
Toka mbinguni Bwana aliwachungulia wanadamu, Aone kama yuko mtu mwenye akili, Amtafutaye Mungu.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Wote wamepotoka, wameoza wote pamoja, Hakuna atendaye mema, La! Hata mmoja.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
Who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
Je! Wote wafanyao maovu hawajui? Walao watu wangu kama walavyo mkate, Hawamwiti Bwana.
5 There were they in great fear:
For God is in the generation of the righteous.
Hapo ndipo walipoingiwa na hofu nyingi, Maana Mungu yupo pamoja na kizazi cha haki.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor,
Because the LORD is his refuge.
Mnalitia aibu shauri la mtu mnyonge, Bali Bwana ndiye aliye kimbilio lake.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Laiti wokovu wa Israeli utoke katika Sayuni! Bwana awarudishapo wafungwa wa watu wake; Yakobo atashangilia, Israeli atafurahi.
