Psalms 53

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

Al maestro de coro. Según Mahalat. Maskil de David. El insensato dice en su corazón: “No hay Dios.” Se han pervertido; su conducta es abominable; ni uno solo obra bien.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who understood, who seek after God.

Yahvé mira desde el cielo a los hijos de los hombres, para ver si hay quien sea inteligente y busque a Dios.

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Pero se han extraviado todos juntos y todos se han depravado. No hay uno que obre el bien, ni uno siquiera.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?

¡Nunca entenderán esos malhechores, que devoran a mi pueblo, como comen pan, sin cuidarse de Dios para nada!

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against thee. Thou have put them to shame because God has rejected them.

He aquí que tiemblan de miedo donde no hay que temer; porque Dios ha dispersado los huesos de los que te esquilmaban; están desconcertados porque Dios los rechazó.

6 O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

¡Oh, venga ya de Sión la salud de Israel! Cuando Yahvé cambie la suerte de su pueblo, saltará de gozo Jacob, e Israel de alegría.
