Psalmi 53

1 Načelniku godbe na piščal; pesem Davidova ukovita. Nespametni govori v srci svojem: Ni ga Boga; pohujšujejo in ostudno krivico doprinašajo, ni ga, da bi delal dobro.

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

2 Bog z neba gleda dol na sinove človeške, da bi videl, je li kateri, da bi bil razumen, da bi iskal Boga.

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

3 Vsak je odstopil, izpridili so se vsi vkup: ni ga, da bi delal dobro, ne enega samega.

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

4 Ali si niso v svesti, kateri delajo krivico, ker žró ljudstvo moje kruh jedóč, ne kličejo Boga?

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

5 Tam se preplašijo od groze, kjer ni groze; ker Bog razsuje kosti vsakega, kateri ima šatorišče svoje zoper tebe; osramotiš jih, ker Bog jih zameta.

There were they 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.

6 O kdó naj dá blaginjo sè Sijona Izraelu? Ko bode nazaj peljal iz sužnjosti ljudstva svojega krdelo, veselil se bode Jakob, radoval se Izrael.

Oh 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.
