< Psalms 53 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who 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 looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek 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 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
Pero se han extraviado todos juntos y todos se han depravado. No hay uno que obre el bien, ni uno siquiera.
4 Have evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on God?
¡Nunca entenderán esos malhechores, que devoran a mi pueblo, como comen pan, sin cuidarse de Dios para nada!
5 There they will be in great fear, where no fear had been, for God will scatter the bones of those who encamp against you. You will put them to shame, because God has rejected 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 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God brings back his people from captivity, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel 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.
