Salmo 53

Necedad y maldad de los hombres

Para el director del coro; según Mahalat[a]. Masquil[b] de David.

53 (A)El necio ha dicho en su corazón: «No hay Dios».
Se han corrompido, han cometido injusticias abominables;
No hay quien haga el bien(B).
Dios ha mirado desde los cielos sobre los hijos de los hombres
Para ver si hay alguien que entienda,
Alguien que busque a Dios(C).
Todos se han desviado, a una se han corrompido;
No hay quien haga el bien, no hay ni siquiera uno(D).
¶¿Acaso no tienen conocimiento los que hacen iniquidad(E),
Que devoran a Mi pueblo como si comieran pan,
Y no invocan a Dios?
Donde antes no había terror, allí tiemblan de espanto(F),
Porque Dios esparció los huesos del que acampaba contra ti(G);
los avergonzaste(H), porque Dios los había rechazado(I).
¡Oh, si de Sión saliera la salvación de Israel!
Cuando Dios restaure a Su pueblo cautivo,
Se regocijará Jacob y se alegrará Israel(J).

  2. 53:0 Posiblemente, Salmo didáctico, o contemplativo.

53 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

There 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.

Oh 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.

Folly of the Godless, and the Restoration of Israel(A)

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A [a]Contemplation of David.

53 The (B)fool has said in his heart,
There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
(C)There is none who does good.

God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who (D)seek God.
Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity (E)no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?
(F)There they are in great fear
Where no fear was,
For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;
You have put them to shame,
Because God has despised them.

(G)Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back [b]the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
