Psalmi 53

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

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that does good.

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

God looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

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

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that 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 iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called on 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.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that encamps against you: you have put them to shame, because God has despised them.

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

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
