1 T he fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Na Rawiri. Kua ki te wairangi i tona ngakau, Kahore he Atua. Kua pirau ratou, he whakahouhou a ratou mahi, kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai.

2 J ehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

I titiro iho a Ihowa i te rangi ki nga tama a te tangata, kia kite me kahore tetahi e mahara ana, e rapu ana i te Atua.

3 T hey are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Kua peka ke ratou katoa kua pirau tahi: kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai, kohore kia kotahi.

4 H ave all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

E kore ranei e mohio nga kaimahi katoa o te kino? e kai nei i toku iwi, me te mea e kai taro ana, a kahore e karanga ki a Ihowa.

5 T here were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

Na, i reira ratou e tuiri noa ana: kei roto hoki te Atua i te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.

6 Y e put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

Meinga ana e koutou te whakaaro o te hunga iti hei whakama, no te mea ko Ihowa tona piringa.

7 O h that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Aue, me i puta mai te whakaoranga o Iharaira i Hiona! Kia whakahokia e Ihowa tana iwi i te whakarau, ka whakamanamana a Hakopa, ka hari a Iharaira.
