Psalms 53

1 to/for to conduct upon Mahalath Maskil to/for David to say foolish in/on/with heart his nothing God to ruin and to abhor injustice nothing to make: do good

To the Overseer. — 'On a disease.' — An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

2 God from heaven to look upon son: child man to/for to see: see there be prudent to seek [obj] God

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

3 all his to turn together to corrupt nothing to make: do good nothing also one

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

4 not to know to work evil: wickedness to eat people my to eat food: bread God not to call: call to

Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

5 there to dread dread not to be dread for God to scatter bone to camp you be ashamed for God to reject them

There they feared a fear — there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

6 who? to give: if only! from Zion salvation Israel in/on/with to return: rescue God captivity people his to rejoice Jacob to rejoice Israel

Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
