Psalms 53

1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that 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 that understood, or sought 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 They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.

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

4 Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

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

5 or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised 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 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, 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.
