Псалми 53

1 Рече безумник у срцу свом: Нема Бога; проневаљалише се и загрдеше у безакоњу, нема никога добро да твори.

To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath. Maschil. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 Бог с неба погледа на синове човечије да види има ли који разуман, и тражи ли који Бога.

God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 Сви застранише, сви се покварише, нема никога добро да твори, нема ни једног.

Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Зар неће да се оразуме који год чине безакоње, једу народ мој као што једу хлеб, и не призивају Бога?

Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

5 Дрхтаће од страха где страха нема. Јер ће Бог расути кости оних који устају на тебе. Ти ћеш их посрамити, јер их Бог одврже.

They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

6 Ко ће послати са Сиона спасење Израиљу? Кад Бог поврати заробљени народ свој, радоваће се Јаков, веселиће се Израиљ.

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! When the fate of his people is changed by God, Jacob will have joy, and Israel will be glad.
