Psalmi 53

1 Zborovođi. Prema napjevu “Bolest”. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Bezumnik reče u srcu: “Nema Boga!” Pokvareni rade gadosti; nitko da čini dobro.

To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath. Maschil. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 Bog s nebesa gleda na sinove ljudske da vidi ima li tko razuman Boga da traži.

God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 No svi skrenuše zajedno, svi se pokvariše: nitko da čini dobro - nikoga nema.

Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Neće li se urazumiti svi što čine bezakonje, koji proždiru narod moj kao da jedu kruh? Boga oni ne zazivlju:

Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

5 od straha će drhtat' gdje straha i nema jer Bog će rasuti kosti onih koji tebe opsjedaju, bit će posramljeni jer će ih Bog odbaciti.

They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

6 O, neka dođe sa Siona spas Izraelu! Kad Bog promijeni udes naroda svoga, klicat će Jakov, radovat' se Izrael.

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! When the fate of his people is changed by God, Jacob will have joy, and Israel will be glad.
