Psalms 53

1 To the choirmaster on Mahalath a poem of David. He says a fool in heart his there not [is] a god they act corruptly and they act abominably unrighteousness there not [is one who] does good.

For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

2 God from heaven he looks down on [the] children of humankind to see ¿ [is] there [one who] acts prudently [one who] seeks God.

God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

3 All of it he turns back together they are corrupt there not [is one who] does good there not also [is] one.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

4 ¿ Not do they know [those who] do wickedness [those who] devour people my they eat bread God not they call on.

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

5 There - they feared a fear [which] not it was fear for God he has scattered [the] bones of [one who] encamped against you you have put [them] to shame for God he has rejected them.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

6 Who? will he give [will be] from Zion [the] salvation of Israel when turns back God [the] captivity of people his let it be glad Jacob let it rejoice Israel.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
