المَزامِير 53

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْعُودِ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ. حَدَّثَ الْجَاهِلُ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «لَا يُوْجَدُ إِلَهٌ». فَسَدَ الْبَشَرُ وَارْتَكَبُوا الْمَكْرُوهَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَاحِدٌ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ.

To 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.

٢ 2 أَشْرَفَ اللهُ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى بَنِي الْبَشَرِ، لِيَنْظُرَ هَلْ يُوْجَدُ بَيْنَهُمْ حَكِيمٌ يَطْلُبُ اللهَ.

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

٣ 3 فَإِذَا الْجَمِيعُ قَدِ ارْتَدُّوا وَفَسَدُوا. لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ، لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

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

٤ 4 أَلَيْسَ لَدَى فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟ إِنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَنْ يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزاً وَيُعَادُونَ الرَّبَّ.

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

٥ 5 هُنَاكَ يَدْهَمُهُمُ الرُّعْبُ حَيْثُ لَا مُوْجِبَ لِلرُّعْبِ، لأَنَّهُ يُبَدِّدُ عِظَامَ أَعْدَاءِ شَعْبِهِ وَيُلْحِقُ بِهِمِ الْخِزْيَ لأَنَّ اللهَ رَفَضَهُمْ.

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.

٦ 6 لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَمَا يَرُدُّ اللهُ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ يَفْرَحُ يَعْقُوبُ وَيَبْتَهِجُ إِسْرَائِيلُ.

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.
