1 Til Korherren. Al-mahalat. Maskil af David (53:2) Dårerne siger i Hjertet: "Der er ingen Gud!" Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen gør godt.

1 For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;There is no one who does good.

2 (53:3) Gud skuer ned fra Himlen på Menneskenes Børn for at se, om der findes en forstandig, nogen, der søger Gud.

2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of menTo see if there is anyone who understands,Who seeks after God.

3 (53:4) Afveget er alle, til Hobe fordærvet, ingen gør godt, end ikke een.

3 Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;There is no one who does good, not even one.

4 (53:5) Er de Udådsmænd da uden Forstand de, der æder mit Folk, som åd de Brød, og ikke påkalder Gud?

4 Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge,Who eat up My people as though they ate breadAnd have not called upon God?

5 (53:6) Af Rædsel gribes de da, hvor ingen Rædsel var; thi Gud adsplitter din Belejres Ben; de bliver til Skamme, thi Gud forkaster dem.

5 There they were in great fear where no fear had been;For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you;You put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

6 (53:7) Ak, kom dog fra Zion Israels Frelse! Når Gud vender sit Folks Skæbne, skal Jakob juble, Israel glædes. 

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!When God restores His captive people,Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
