Al director del coro. Sobre Majalat. Maskil de David.
1Dice el necio en su corazón: No hay Dios. Se han corrompido, e hicieron abominable maldad, No hay quien haga el bien.2’Elohim observa desde los cielos a los hijos del hombre, Para ver si hay quien entienda, Si hay quien busque a ’Elohim.3Todos ellos se apartaron, A una se hicieron inútiles, No hay quien haga lo bueno, No hay ni siquiera uno.4¿Acaso los que hacen iniquidad no saben que devoran a mi pueblo como si comieran pan, Y que a ’Elohim no invocan?5Allí, donde no había nada que temer, se sobresaltaron de terror, Porque ’Elohim esparció los huesos del que puso asedio contra ti, Los avergonzaste, porque ’Elohim los desechó.6¡Quién hiciera venir desde Sión la salvación a Israel! Cuando ’Elohim haga volver del cautiverio a su pueblo, ¡Regocíjese Jacob y alégrese Israel!
Salmo 53
King James Version
1To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. 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.2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.5There 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.6Oh 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.
