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.

Bedak je rekel v svojem srcu: »Ni Boga.« Izprijeni so in storili so gnusno krivičnost, nikogar ni, ki dela dobro.

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

Bog je pogledal z neba na človeške otroke, da vidi, če so bili katerikoli, ki so razumeli, ki so iskali Boga.

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

Vsak izmed njih se je vrnil. Vsi skupaj so postali umazani; nikogar ni, ki dela dobro, ne, niti enega ni.

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.

Mar delavci krivičnosti nimajo spoznanja? Kdo požira moje ljudstvo, kakor jedo kruh, niso [pa] klicali k Bogu.

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.

V velikem strahu so bili tam, kjer ni bilo strahu, kajti Bog je razkropil kosti tistega, ki tabori zoper tebe; položil si jih v sramoto, ker jih je Bog preziral.

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.

Oh, da bi prišla iz Siona Izraelova rešitev duš! Ko Bog privede nazaj ujetništvo svojega ljudstva, se bo Jakob veselil in Izrael bo vesel.
