To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.53.1 Maschil: or, of instruction
2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.53.5 were…: Heb. they feared a fear
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.53.6 Oh that…: Heb. Who will give salvation, etc
Псалам 53
Хоровођи. Жалосно. Давидова поучна песма.
1Безумник у свом срцу каже:
„Нема Бога!“
Дела су им опака и гадна,
нема никога да чини добро.
2Бог с неба гледа потомке људи,
да види има ли разумнога,
таквога који тражи Бога.
3Од Бога се сви одвратише,
покварени сви постадоше;
нема тога који чини добро,
таквога ниједнога нема.
4Зар не знају ти зликовци,
да мој народ као хлеб прождиру,
а ни самог Бога не призивају?
5Ту ће њих страх силни спопасти,
када страха и не буде било.
Јер, Бог ће расејати кости
оног који те опседа.
Осрамотићеш их,
јер Бог их је одбацио.
6Ко ће са Сиона дати спасење Израиљу?
Када Бог врати свој народ изгнани,
радоваће се Јаков,
веселиће се Израиљ.
