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.

To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, 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 God.

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

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether 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: they have not called 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 they were 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 ¡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.

O 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.
