< 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
[Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins; there is not one of them who does what is good/right.
2 Deus de caelo prospexit in filios hominum ut videat si est intellegens aut requirens Deum
God looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is [very] wise, with the result that he seeks [to know] God.
3 omnes declinaverunt simul inutiles facti sunt non est qui faciat bonum non est usque ad unum
[But] they are all morally corrupt; no one does what is good/right.
4 nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis
Will all these evil people never learn [what God will do to them]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.
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
But [some day] those people will become terrified, like they have never been terrified before, because God will cause those who are separated from him to die, and he will [disrespect them by] scattering their bones. They have rejected God, so he will cause them to be [defeated and] completely disgraced.
6 quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israhel dum convertit Deus captivitatem plebis suae exultabit Iacob et laetabitur Israhel
I wish/desire that someone from Jerusalem [MTY] would come and rescue the Israeli [people]! God, when you bless your people again, [all] the Israeli [people, all the descendants of] Jacob, will rejoice.
