Psalmi 53

1 Reèe bezumnik u srcu svojemu: nema Boga; pronevaljališe se i zagrdješe u bezakonju, nema nikoga dobro da tvori.

For the leader. On mahalath. A maskil of David. Fools say in their heart, “There is no God.” Vile, hateful their life is; not one does good.

2 Bog s neba pogleda na sinove èovjeèije da vidi ima li koji razuman, i traži li koji Boga.

From heaven God looks out on humans, to see if any are wise, and care for God.

3 Svi zastraniše, svi se pokvariše, nema nikoga dobro da tvori, nema ni jednoga.

But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one.

4 Zar neæe da se orazume koji god èine bezakonje, jedu narod moj kao što jedu hljeb, i ne prizivaju Boga?

Have they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord.

5 Drktaæe od straha gdje straha nema. Jer æe Bog rasuti kosti onijeh koji ustaju na tebe. Ti æeš ih posramiti, jer ih Bog odvrže.

Sore afraid will they be, where no fear was; when God scatters the bones of the godless people. They will be put to shame, when God rejects them.

6 Ko æe poslati sa Siona spasenje Izrailju? Kad Bog povrati zarobljeni narod svoj, radovaæe se Jakov, veseliæe se Izrailj.

If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When God brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful!
