Salmos 53

1 Al maestro de coro. Según Mahalat. Maskil de David. El insensato dice en su corazón: “No hay Dios.” Se han pervertido; su conducta es abominable; ni uno solo obra bien.

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.

2 Yahvé mira desde el cielo a los hijos de los hombres, para ver si hay quien sea inteligente y busque a Dios.

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

3 Pero se han extraviado todos juntos y todos se han depravado. No hay uno que obre el bien, ni uno siquiera.

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

4 ¡Nunca entenderán esos malhechores, que devoran a mi pueblo, como comen pan, sin cuidarse de Dios para nada!

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on God?

5 He aquí que tiemblan de miedo donde no hay que temer; porque Dios ha dispersado los huesos de los que te esquilmaban; están desconcertados porque Dios los rechazó.

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.

6 ¡Oh, venga ya de Sión la salud de Israel! Cuando Yahvé cambie la suerte de su pueblo, saltará de gozo Jacob, e Israel de alegría.

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.
