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.

For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil 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 Dios observa desde los cielos para ver si alguien entiende, si alguien quiere venir a él.

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

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

Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not 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”.

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

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.

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 rejected 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.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
