Psalms 53

1 to/for to conduct upon Mahalath Maskil to/for David to say foolish in/on/with heart his nothing God to ruin and to abhor injustice nothing to make: do good

For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.

2 God from heaven to look upon son: child man to/for to see: see there be prudent to seek [obj] God

God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.

3 all his to turn together to corrupt nothing to make: do good nothing also one

They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.

4 not to know to work evil: wickedness to eat people my to eat food: bread God not to call: call to

Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

5 there to dread dread not to be dread for God to scatter bone to camp you be ashamed for God to reject them

or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.

6 who? to give: if only! from Zion salvation Israel in/on/with to return: rescue God captivity people his to rejoice Jacob to rejoice Israel

Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.
