Psaltaren 53
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Människornas dårskap
1-2 Bara en dåre säger för sig själv: Det finns ingen Gud. Hur kan han säga det? Därför att han lever ett ogudaktigt liv och aldrig gör något som är rätt.
3 Gud ser ner från himlen på människorna, för han vill se om det finns någon enda som är förståndig och frågar efter hans vilja.
4 Men alla har vänt honom ryggen. De är fördärvade rakt igenom. Ingen är god, inte en enda.
5 Hur kan det vara på det sättet? Förstår de ingenting dessa män, som är fyllda av ondska? De slukar mitt folk som om de åt bröd, och de räknar inte längre med mig.
6 Men snart kommer ångesten och skräcken att lysa ur deras ögon som aldrig förr. Gud ska krossa benen på sitt folks fiender. De är dömda, för Gud har förkastat dem.
7 O, tänk om Gud ville komma från berget Sion och befria sitt folk! Då skulle Israel jubla av fröjd när Herren själv låter det blomstra på nytt.

Psalm 53
New International Version
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!

Psalm 53
New King James Version
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.
