Psalms 53

1 For the chief musician; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

Para el músico jefe. Con la melodía de “Mahalath”. Una contemplación de David. El necio ha dicho en su corazón: “No hay Dios”. Son corruptos y han hecho una iniquidad abominable. No hay nadie que haga el bien.

2 God looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

Dios mira desde el cielo a los hijos de los hombres, para ver si hay alguno que lo haya entendido, que buscan a Dios.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, not even one.

Cada uno de ellos ha vuelto. Se han ensuciado juntos. No hay nadie que haga el bien, no, ninguno.

4 Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding— those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and they do not call on God?

No tienen conocimiento los obreros de la iniquidad, que se comen a mi pueblo como si fuera pan, y no invocan a Dios?

5 They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put to shame because God has rejected them.

Allí estaban con gran temor, donde no había temor, porque Dios ha dispersado los huesos del que acampa contra ti. Los has puesto en evidencia, porque Dios los ha rechazado.

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!

¡Ohque la salvación de Israel salga de Sión! Cuando Dios trae de vuelta a su pueblo del cautiverio, entonces Jacob se alegrará, e Israel se alegrará.
