Psalm 53
1 Een lied van David, om iets van te leren. Op de wijs van 'Mahalat'. Voor de leider van het koor.
2 De dwaze mensen denken: 'Er is geen God.'
Ze doen vreselijke en verschrikkelijke dingen.
Er is niemand die iets goeds doet.
3 God kijkt vanuit de hemel omlaag naar de mensen.
Hij zoekt of er één mens nog verstandig is, één mens die naar Hem verlangt.
4 Maar er is niemand die leeft zoals Hij het wil.
Iedereen doet waar hij zelf zin in heeft.
Niemand doet iets goeds, helemaal niemand.
5 De Heer zegt:
"Is er dan helemaal niemand verstandig?
Ze doen zoveel kwaad!
Ze eten mijn volk op alsof het brood is.
Niemand van hen heeft ontzag voor Mij!"
6 Plotseling worden ze door angst overvallen,
terwijl er niets is om bang voor te zijn.
Maar God heeft hen bang gemaakt.
God jaagt je vijanden angst aan.
Ze vluchten voor je weg, want God heeft hen verlaten.
7 Kwam er van Sion maar redding voor Israël!
Als God de gevangenen van zijn volk weer terug laat komen,
dan zal het volk Israël weer blij zijn en juichen.

Psalm 53
Darby Translation
To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David.
53 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2 God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon God.
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

Psalm 53[a](A)
For the director of music. According to mahalath.[b] A maskil[c] of David.
1 The fool(B) says in his heart,
“There is no God.”(C)
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven(D)
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(E)
any who seek God.(F)
3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.(G)
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on God.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.(H)
God scattered the bones(I) of those who attacked you;(J)
you put them to shame,(K) for God despised them.(L)
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

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.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5 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.
6 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.
