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. A maschil of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; 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 looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

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

They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, 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”.

Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding— those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and they do not call on 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.

They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put to shame because God has 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 would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!
