Psalmi 53

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

[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

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

God looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

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

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no 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 evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call 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 they will be in great fear, where no fear had been, for God will scatter the bones of those who encamp against you. You will put them to shame, because God has rejected 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 would come out of Zion. When God brings back his people from captivity, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
