Psalm 53
Good News Translation
Human Wickedness[a](A)
53 (B)Fools say to themselves,
“There is no God.”
They are all corrupt,
and they have done terrible things;
there is no one who does what is right.
2 God looks down from heaven at people
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3 But they have all turned away;
they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.
4 “Don't they know?” God asks.
“Are these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
and they never pray to me.”
5 But then they will become terrified,
as they have never been before,
for God will scatter the bones of the enemies of his people.
God has rejected them,
and so Israel will totally defeat them.
6 How I pray that victory
will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
when God makes them prosperous again!

Psalmi 53
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Ljudska pokvarenost
Voditelju zbora. Upotrijebiti »mahalat«[a]. Davidov »maskil«.
53 Samo budale misle da nema Boga.
Pokvareni su i čine grozote.
Nikad ne postupaju dobro.
2 No BOG s neba gleda ljude,
da vidi ima li tko mudar,
netko tko Boga traži.
3 No svi su zastranili,
svi su se pokvarili.
Nitko ne čini dobro,
baš ni jedan od njih.
4 Zar zlikovci ne znaju što čine?
Moj narod proždiru kao da kruh jedu
i nikada Boga ne zazivaju.
5 Evo, silan će ih strah obuzeti,
kakav još nisu osjetili.
Bog će rasuti kosti bezbožnih.
Bit će izvrgnuti sramoti
jer su od Boga odbačeni.
6 O, kad bi od Boga, koji boravi na Sionu,[b]
došlo spasenje Izraelu!
Kad Bog svom narodu vrati blagostanje,
klicat će Jakovljev narod,
radovat će se Izrael!
Psalm 53
New King James Version
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.
2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who (D)seek God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity (E)no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?
5 (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.
6 (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.
