Salmos 53

To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.

1 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.*53.1 Maschil: or, of instruction

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

5 There 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.*53.5 were…: Heb. they feared a fear

6 Oh 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.*53.6 Oh that…: Heb. Who will give salvation, etc

1 Al Músico principal: sobre Mahalath: Masquil de David. DIJO el necio en su corazón: No hay Dios. Corrompiéronse é hicieron abominable maldad: No hay quien haga bien. 2 Dios desde los cielos miró sobre los hijos de los hombres, Por ver si hay algún entendido Que busque á Dios. 3 Cada uno se había vuelto atrás; todos se habían corrompido: No hay quien haga bien, no hay ni aun uno. 4 ¿No tienen conocimiento todos esos que obran iniquidad? Que comen á mi pueblo como si comiesen pan: A Dios no han invocado. 5 Allí se sobresaltaron de pavor donde no había miedo: Porque Dios ha esparcido los huesos del que asentó campo contra ti: Los avergonzaste, porque Dios los desechó. 6 Oh quién diese de Sión saludes á Israel! En volviendo Dios la cautividad de su pueblo, Gozarse ha Jacob, y alegraráse Israel.
