< Psalms 53 >

1 To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْعُودِ». قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ قَالَ ٱلْجَاهِلُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ». فَسَدُوا وَرَجِسُوا رَجَاسَةً. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا.١
2 God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
ٱللهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ لِيَنْظُرَ: هَلْ مِنْ فَاهِمٍ طَالِبِ ٱللهِ؟٢
3 Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
كُلُّهُمْ قَدِ ٱرْتَدُّوا مَعًا، فَسَدُوا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا، لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.٣
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon God.
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَاعِلُو ٱلْإِثْمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ، وَٱللهَ لَمْ يَدْعُوا؟٤
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised them.
هُنَاكَ خَافُوا خَوْفًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خَوْفٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ بَدَّدَ عِظَامَ مُحَاصِرِكَ. أَخْزَيْتَهُمْ لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ رَفَضَهُمْ.٥
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلَاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَ رَدِّ ٱللهِ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ، يَهْتِفُ يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَفْرَحُ إِسْرَائِيلُ.٦
