Psalms 53

There is no one who does good

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yemahalathi. Ihubo likaDavida. Isiwula sithi enhliziyweni yaso, “AkulaNkulunkulu.” Baxhwalile, lezindlela zabo zibolile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle. ²UNkulunkulu ukhangela phansi esezulwini emadodaneni abantu ingabe bakhona yini abazwisisayo, abamdingayo uNkulunkulu. ³Abantu bonke baphambukile, bonke sebexhwalile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle, kakho lamunye.

⁴Kanti lezizixhwali kaziyikufa zafunda yini? Zona ezidla abantu bami ingathi zidla isinkwa, ezingamkhonziyo uNkulunkulu. ⁵Kodwa yibo abagubhazeliswa luvalo khona kungelalutho olwesabekayo. UNkulunkulu wawahlakaza amathambo alabo abalihlaselayo; lina labayangisa ngoba uNkulunkulu wabeyisa. ⁶Sengathi insindiso ka-Israyeli ingaqhamuka eZiyoni! Nxa uNkulunkulu esebuyisela impumelelo yabantu bakhe, kathokoze uJakhobe lo-Israyeli ajabule!
