Salmos 53

1 Al Vencedor: sobre Mahalat: Masquil de David. Dijo el loco en su corazón: No hay Dios. Se corrompieron e hicieron abominable maldad; no hay quien haga bien.

[Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins; there is not one of them who does what is good/right.

2 Dios desde los cielos miró sobre los hijos de Adán, por ver si hay algún entendido que busque a Dios.

God looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is [very] wise, with the result that he seeks [to know] God.

3 Cada uno se había vuelto atrás; todos se habían dañado; no hay quien haga bien, no hay ni aun uno.

[But] they are all morally corrupt; no one does what is good/right.

4 ¿No tienen conocimiento todos esos que obran iniquidad, que comen a mi pueblo como si comiesen pan? A Dios no invocan.

Will all these evil people never learn [what God will do to them]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

5 Allí se sobresaltaron de pavor donde no había pavor; porque Dios descoyuntó los huesos del que asentó campamento contra ti; los avergonzaste, porque Dios los desechó.

But [some day] those people will become terrified, like they have never been terrified before, because God will cause those who are separated from him to die, and he will [disrespect them by] scattering their bones. They have rejected God, so he will cause them to be [defeated and] completely disgraced.

6 ¡ Oh quién diese de Sion saludes a Israel! Volviendo Dios la cautividad de su pueblo, se gozará Jacob, y se alegrará Israel.

I wish/desire that someone from Jerusalem [MTY] would come and rescue the Israeli [people]! God, when you bless your people again, [all] the Israeli [people, all the descendants of] Jacob, will rejoice.
