Psalms 53

1 For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْعُودِ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ. حَدَّثَ الْجَاهِلُ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ». فَسَدَ الْبَشَرُ وَارْتَكَبُوا الْمَكْرُوهَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَاحِدٌ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ.

2 God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

٢ أَشْرَفَ اللهُ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى بَنِي الْبَشَرِ، لِيَنْظُرَ هَلْ يُوْجَدُ بَيْنَهُمْ حَكِيمٌ يَطْلُبُ اللهَ.

3 All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

٣ فَإِذَا الْجَمِيعُ قَدِ ارْتَدُّوا وَفَسَدُوا. لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ، لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

4 Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

٤ أَلَيْسَ لَدَى فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَنْ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزاً وَيُعَادُونَ الرَّبَّ.

5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

٥ هُنَاكَ يَدْهَمُهُمُ الرُّعْبُ حَيْثُ لَا مُوْجِبَ لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُ يُبَدِّدُ عِظَامَ أَعْدَاءِ شَعْبِهِ وَيُلْحِقُ بِهِمِ الْخِزْيَ لأَنَّ اللهَ رَفَضَهُمْ.

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

٦ لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَمَا يَرُدُّ اللهُ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ يَفْرَحُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَبْتَهِجُ إِسْرَائِيلُ.
