Psalmorum 53

1 in finem pro Melech intellegentiae David dixit insipiens in corde suo non est Deus corrupti sunt et abominabiles facti sunt in iniquitatibus non est qui faciat bonum

Unto the end. For Mahalath: the thoughts of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they became abominable with iniquities. There is no one who does good.

2 Deus de caelo prospexit in filios hominum ut videat si est intellegens aut requirens Deum

God gazed down from heaven on the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

3 omnes declinaverunt simul inutiles facti sunt non est qui faciat bonum non est usque ad unum

All have gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

4 nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis

Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

5 Deum non invocaverunt illic trepidabunt timore ubi non fuit timor quoniam Deus dissipavit ossa eorum qui hominibus placent confusi sunt quoniam Deus sprevit eos

They have not called upon God. In that place, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who please men. They have been confounded, because God has spurned them.

6 quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israhel dum convertit Deus captivitatem plebis suae exultabit Iacob et laetabitur Israhel

Who will grant from Zion the salvation of Israel? Jacob will exult, when God will convert the captivity of his people; and Israel will rejoice.
