Psalms 53

1 To the choirmaster on Mahalath a poem of David. He says a fool in heart his there not [is] a god they act corruptly and they act abominably unrighteousness there not [is one who] does good.

To him that excelleth on Mahalath. A Psalme of David to give instruction. The foole hath saide in his heart, There is no God. they haue corrupted and done abominable wickednes: there is none that doeth good.

2 God from heaven he looks down on [the] children of humankind to see ¿ [is] there [one who] acts prudently [one who] seeks God.

God looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

3 All of it he turns back together they are corrupt there not [is one who] does good there not also [is] one.

Euery one is gone backe: they are altogether corrupt: there is none that doth good, no not one.

4 ¿ Not do they know [those who] do wickedness [those who] devour people my they eat bread God not they call on.

Doe not the workers of iniquitie knowe that they eate vp my people as they eate bread? they call not vpon God.

5 There - they feared a fear [which] not it was fear for God he has scattered [the] bones of [one who] encamped against you you have put [them] to shame for God he has rejected them.

There they were afraide for feare, where no feare was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that besieged thee: thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath cast them off.

6 Who? will he give [will be] from Zion [the] salvation of Israel when turns back God [the] captivity of people his let it be glad Jacob let it rejoice Israel.

Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when God turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shalbe glad.
