Psalms 53

1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Zborovođi. Prema napjevu “Bolest”. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Bezumnik reče u srcu: “Nema Boga!” Pokvareni rade gadosti; nitko da čini dobro.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Bog s nebesa gleda na sinove ljudske da vidi ima li tko razuman Boga da traži.

3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

No svi skrenuše zajedno, svi se pokvariše: nitko da čini dobro - nikoga nema.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

Neće li se urazumiti svi što čine bezakonje, koji proždiru narod moj kao da jedu kruh? Boga oni ne zazivlju:

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

od straha će drhtat' gdje straha i nema jer Bog će rasuti kosti onih koji tebe opsjedaju, bit će posramljeni jer će ih Bog odbaciti.

6 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

O, neka dođe sa Siona spas Izraelu! Kad Bog promijeni udes naroda svoga, klicat će Jakov, radovat' se Izrael.
