Necedad y corrupción del hombre

53 Al músico principal. Sobre Majalat[a]. Masquil[b] de David.

Dijo el necio en su corazón:
“No hay Dios”.
Se han corrompido
y han hecho abominable maldad. No hay quien haga el bien.
Dios miró desde los cielos
sobre los hijos del hombre
para ver si había algún sensato que buscara a Dios.
Pero cada uno se había descarriado;
a una se habían corrompido. No había quien hiciera el bien;
no había ni siquiera uno.
¿Acaso los que obran iniquidad
no saben que comen a mi pueblo como si fuera pan,
y que a Dios no invocan?
Allí donde no hubo nada que temer, temieron grandemente;
porque Dios esparció los huesos
de los blasfemos.
Los avergonzaste, porque Dios los rechazó.
¡Quién hiciera que de Sion viniese
la salvación de Israel!
Cuando Dios restaure de la cautividad a su pueblo
se gozará Jacob; se alegrará Israel.

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!

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.
