Salmos 53

1 Para el director del coro. Según Mahalat. Un salmo (masquil) de David. Solo los tontos se dicen a sí mismos, “Dios no existe”. Son completamente inmorales, cometen pecados terribles, ni uno solo de ellos hace algo bueno.

Unto the end. For Mahalath: the thoughts of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they became abominable with iniquities. There is no one who does good.

2 Dios observa desde los cielos para ver si alguien entiende, si alguien quiere venir a él.

God gazed down from heaven on the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

3 Todos han caído, son totalmente depravados; ninguno hace el bien, ni siquiera uno.

All have gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

4 “¿Nunca aprenderá este pueblo que hace el mal? Consumen a mi pueblo como si estuvieran comiendo pan, y se niegan a invocar mi nombre”.

Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

5 Se aterrorizarán por completo, tendrán más miedo del que nunca han tenido. Dios esparcirá los huesos de los que pelean contra ti; los derrotarás porque Dios los ha rechazado.

They have not called upon God. In that place, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who please men. They have been confounded, because God has spurned them.

6 ¡Si tan solo la salvación de Dios viniera de Sión! Cuando Dios restaure a su pueblo, el pueblo de Jacob celebrará, y el pueblo de Israel se alegrará.

Who will grant from Zion the salvation of Israel? Jacob will exult, when God will convert the captivity of his people; and Israel will rejoice.
