Psalmi 53

1 Bedak je rekel v svojem srcu: »Ni Boga.« Izprijeni so in storili so gnusno krivičnost, nikogar ni, ki dela dobro.

Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his heart: There is no God. They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.

2 Bog je pogledal z neba na človeške otroke, da vidi, če so bili katerikoli, ki so razumeli, ki so iskali Boga.

God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.

3 Vsak izmed njih se je vrnil. Vsi skupaj so postali umazani; nikogar ni, ki dela dobro, ne, niti enega ni.

All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.

4 Mar delavci krivičnosti nimajo spoznanja? Kdo požira moje ljudstvo, kakor jedo kruh, niso [pa] klicali k Bogu.

Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?

5 V velikem strahu so bili tam, kjer ni bilo strahu, kajti Bog je razkropil kosti tistega, ki tabori zoper tebe; položil si jih v sramoto, ker jih je Bog preziral.

They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

6 Oh, da bi prišla iz Siona Izraelova rešitev duš! Ko Bog privede nazaj ujetništvo svojega ljudstva, se bo Jakob veselil in Izrael bo vesel.

Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
