Salmos 53 · El necio dice que no hay Dios

1For the leader; on mahalath. Meaning of Heb. unknown. A maskil of David.

2The scoundrel thinks,“God does not care.” Mortals’ wrongdoing is corrupt and loathsome;no one does good.

3God looks down from heaven on humankindto find someone with understanding,someone mindful of God.

4Everyone is dross,altogether foul;there is no one who does good,not even one.

5Are they so witless, those evildoers,who devour my people as they devour food,and do not invoke God?

6There they will be seized with fright—never was there such a fright—for God has scattered the bones of your besiegers;you have put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

7O that the deliverance of Israel might come from Zion!When God restores the fortunes of this covenanted people,Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice.
