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; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David. A fool says 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 children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

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

They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, not even one.

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

Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding— those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and they 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.

They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put 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 from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!
