Salme 53

1 Til Sangmesteren; til „Makalath‟; en Undervisning af David.

To the choirmaster on Mahalath a poem of David. He says a fool in heart his there not [is] a god they act corruptly and they act abominably unrighteousness there not [is one who] does good.

2 En Daare siger i sit Hjerte: Der er ingen Gud; fordærvelig og vederstyggelig er deres onde Gerning; der er ingen, som gør godt.

God from heaven he looks down on [the] children of humankind to see ¿ [is] there [one who] acts prudently [one who] seeks God.

3 Gud saa ned fra Himmelen paa Menneskens Børn, at se, om der var en forstandig, nogen, som søgte Gud.

All of it he turns back together they are corrupt there not [is one who] does good there not also [is] one.

4 Enhver er afvegen, de ere fordærvede til Hobe; der er ingen, som gør godt, end ikke een.

¿ Not do they know [those who] do wickedness [those who] devour people my they eat bread God not they call on.

5 Have de ikke kendt det, de, som gøre Uret, som æde mit Folk, som de aade Brød? de kalde ikke paa Gud.

There - they feared a fear [which] not it was fear for God he has scattered [the] bones of [one who] encamped against you you have put [them] to shame for God he has rejected them.

6 Den Gang frygtede de saare, hvor intet var at frygte; thi Gud spredte Benene af dem, som lejrede sig imod dig; du gjorde dem til Skamme, thi Gud havde forkastet dem. Gid der fra Zion kom Frelse for Israel; naar Gud tilbagefører sit fangne Folk, da skal Jakob fryde sig, Israel glæde sig.

Who? will he give [will be] from Zion [the] salvation of Israel when turns back God [the] captivity of people his let it be glad Jacob let it rejoice Israel.
