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

“For the leader of the music. To be sung on wind instruments. A psalm of David.” The fool saith in his heart, “There is no God!” They are corrupt; their doings are abominable; There is none that doeth good.

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

God looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any that have understanding, That have regard to God.

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

They are all gone astray; together are they corrupt; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

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

Shall not the evil-doers be requited, Who eat up my people like bread, And call not upon God?

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

Yea! fear shall come upon them, Where no fear is; For God will scatter the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou shalt put them to shame, for God despiseth them!

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

O that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel be glad.
