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.

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

2 God looked on the sons of men from the heavens, To see if there is an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is 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.
