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.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْعُودِ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ. حَدَّثَ الْجَاهِلُ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ». فَسَدَ الْبَشَرُ وَارْتَكَبُوا الْمَكْرُوهَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَاحِدٌ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ.

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

٢ أَشْرَفَ اللهُ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى بَنِي الْبَشَرِ، لِيَنْظُرَ هَلْ يُوْجَدُ بَيْنَهُمْ حَكِيمٌ يَطْلُبُ اللهَ.

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

٣ فَإِذَا الْجَمِيعُ قَدِ ارْتَدُّوا وَفَسَدُوا. لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ، لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?

٤ أَلَيْسَ لَدَى فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَنْ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزاً وَيُعَادُونَ الرَّبَّ.

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

٥ هُنَاكَ يَدْهَمُهُمُ الرُّعْبُ حَيْثُ لَا مُوْجِبَ لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُ يُبَدِّدُ عِظَامَ أَعْدَاءِ شَعْبِهِ وَيُلْحِقُ بِهِمِ الْخِزْيَ لأَنَّ اللهَ رَفَضَهُمْ.

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

٦ لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَمَا يَرُدُّ اللهُ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ يَفْرَحُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَبْتَهِجُ إِسْرَائِيلُ.
