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).

53 To the Overseer. -- `On a disease.' -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one.

Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!

Psalm 53[a](A)

For the director of music. According to mahalath.[b] A maskil[c] of David.

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.

God looks down from heaven(D)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(E)
    any who seek God.(F)
Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
    there is no one who does good,
    not even one.(G)

Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;
    they never call on God.
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)

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
    When God restores his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
