Salmos 53

1 Dijo el insensato en su corazón: No hay Dios; corrompiéronse, e hicieron abominable maldad: no hay quien haga bien.

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 Dios desde los cielos miró sobre los hijos de Adam: por ver si hay algún entendido, que busque a Dios.

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

3 Cada uno se había vuelto atrás, a una se habían dañado: no hay quien haga bien, no hay ni aun uno.

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 No tienen conocimiento todos los que obran iniquidad, que comen a mi pueblo como si comiesen pan: a Dios no invocan,

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 Allí se despavorieron de pavor donde no había pavor: porque Dios esparció los huesos del que asentó campo contra ti: avergonzáste los, porque Dios los desechó.

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

6 ¿Quién diese de Sión saludes a Israel? En volviendo Dios la cautividad de su pueblo, regocijarse ha Jacob, y alegrarse ha 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.
