Psalms 53

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath. Maschil. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Mahalat. Nyanyian pengajaran Daud. Orang dungu berkata dalam hati, "Tidak ada Allah." Perbuatan mereka jahat dan keji; tidak ada yang berbuat baik.

2 God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

Dari surga TUHAN memandang umat manusia, untuk mencari orang bijak yang menyembah Dia.

3 Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

Tetapi semua orang sudah menyeleweng dan bejat tak ada seorang pun yang berbuat baik.

4 Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

Kata TUHAN, "Tak sadarkah orang-orang jahat itu? Mereka hidup dengan merampasi umat-Ku, dan tak pernah berdoa kepada-Ku."

5 They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

Orang jahat akan sangat ketakutan, padahal tak ada yang menakutkan, sebab Allah menghamburkan tulang orang yang mengepung kamu; mereka telah ditolak Allah, maka kamu akan mengalahkan mereka.

6 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! When the fate of his people is changed by God, Jacob will have joy, and Israel will be glad.

Dari Bukit Sion datanglah kiranya keselamatan bagi Israel. Maka keturunan Yakub akan bersukacita bila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya.
