Psalm 53 – NIRV & NAV

New International Reader’s Version

Psalm 53:1-6

Psalm 53

For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David.

1Foolish people say in their hearts,

“There is no God.”

They do all kinds of horrible and evil things.

No one does anything good.

2God looks down from heaven

on all people.

He wants to see if there are any who understand.

He wants to see if there are any who trust in God.

3All of them have turned away.

They have all become evil.

No one does anything good,

no one at all.

4Don’t these people who do evil know anything?

They eat up my people as if they were eating bread.

They never call out to God for help.

5Just look at them! They are filled with terror

even when there is nothing to be afraid of!

People of Israel, God scattered the bones of those who attacked you.

You put them to shame, because God hated them.

6How I pray that the God who saves Israel will come out of Zion!

God will bless his people with great success again.

Then let the people of Jacob be filled with joy! Let Israel be glad!

مزمور 53:1-6

الْمَزْمُورُ الثَّالِثُ وَالْخَمْسُونَ

لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْعُودِ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ.

1حَدَّثَ الْجَاهِلُ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ». فَسَدَ الْبَشَرُ وَارْتَكَبُوا الْمَكْرُوهَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَاحِدٌ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ. 2أَشْرَفَ اللهُ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى بَنِي الْبَشَرِ، لِيَنْظُرَ هَلْ يُوْجَدُ بَيْنَهُمْ حَكِيمٌ يَطْلُبُ اللهَ. 3فَإِذَا الْجَمِيعُ قَدِ ارْتَدُّوا وَفَسَدُوا. لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ، لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

4أَلَيْسَ لَدَى فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَنْ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزاً وَيُعَادُونَ الرَّبَّ. 5هُنَاكَ يَدْهَمُهُمُ الرُّعْبُ حَيْثُ لَا مُوْجِبَ لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُ يُبَدِّدُ عِظَامَ أَعْدَاءِ شَعْبِهِ وَيُلْحِقُ بِهِمِ الْخِزْيَ لأَنَّ اللهَ رَفَضَهُمْ. 6لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَمَا يَرُدُّ اللهُ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ يَفْرَحُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَبْتَهِجُ إِسْرَائِيلُ.
