اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 53

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْعُودِ». قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ قَالَ ٱلْجَاهِلُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ». فَسَدُوا وَرَجِسُوا رَجَاسَةً. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا.

For the music director. According to Mahalath. A psalm (maskil) of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral, they commit terrible sins, not a single one of them does anything good.

٢ 2 ٱللهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ لِيَنْظُرَ: هَلْ مِنْ فَاهِمٍ طَالِبِ ٱللهِ؟

God watches from heaven to see if anyone understands, if anyone wants to come to God.

٣ 3 كُلُّهُمْ قَدِ ٱرْتَدُّوا مَعًا، فَسَدُوا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا، لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

They have all fallen away, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

٤ 4 أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَاعِلُو ٱلْإِثْمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ، وَٱللهَ لَمْ يَدْعُوا؟

“Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to me.”

٥ 5 هُنَاكَ خَافُوا خَوْفًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خَوْفٌ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ بَدَّدَ عِظَامَ مُحَاصِرِكَ. أَخْزَيْتَهُمْ لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ رَفَضَهُمْ.

They will become completely terrified, more frightened than they have ever been. God will scatter the bones of those who fight against you; you will defeat them because God has rejected them.

٦ 6 لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلَاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَ رَدِّ ٱللهِ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ، يَهْتِفُ يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَفْرَحُ إِسْرَائِيلُ.

If only God's salvation would come from Zion! When God restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
