Psalms 53

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “ON A DISEASE.” AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A fool said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have done corruptly, Indeed, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing 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 looked on the sons of men from the heavens, To see if there is an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

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

3 Everyone went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good—not even one.

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

4 Workers of iniquity have not known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, They have not called God.

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

5 There they feared a fear—there was no fear, For God has scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against you, You have put to shame, For God has despised 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 Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!

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