Psalms 53

1 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 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.

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

6 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!

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