Psalms 53

1 To the ouercomer bi the quere, the lernyng of Dauid. The vnwise man seide in his herte; God is not. Thei ben `corrupt, and maad abhomynable in her wickidnessis; noon is that doith good.

In finem, Pro Maeleth intelligentiæ David. Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in iniquitatibus: non est qui faciat bonum.

2 God bihelde fro heuene on the sones of men; that he se, if `ony is vndurstondynge, ether sekynge God.

Deus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum: ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.

3 Alle boweden awei, thei ben maad vnprofitable togidre; noon is that doith good, ther is not til to oon.

Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

4 Whether alle men, that worchen wickidnesse, schulen not wite; whiche deuouren my puple as the mete of breed?

Nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis?

5 Thei clepiden not God; there thei trembliden for drede, where no drede was. For God hath scaterid the boones of hem, that plesen men; thei ben schent, for God hath forsake hem.

Deum non invocaverunt: illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor. Quoniam Deus dissipavit ossa eorum qui hominibus placent: confusi sunt, quoniam Deus sprevit eos.

6 Who schal yyue fro Syon helthe to Israel? whanne the Lord hath turned the caitifte of his puple, Jacob schal `ful out make ioie, and Israel schal be glad.

Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israel? cum converterit Deus captivitatem plebis suæ, exultabit Iacob, et lætabitur Israel.
