Psalms 53

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

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

2 God looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

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

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

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

4 Have evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on God?

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

5 There they will be in great fear, where no fear had been, for God will scatter the bones of those who encamp against you. You will put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

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.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God brings back his people from captivity, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.

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