Psalms 53

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

В конец, о Маелефе, разума Давиду. Рече безумен в сердцы своем: несть Бог. Растлеша и омерзишася в беззакониих, несть творяй благое.

2 God looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

Бог с небесе приниче на сыны человеческия, видети, аще есть разумеваяй или взыскаяй Бога.

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Вси уклонишася, вкупе непотребни быша: несть творяй благое, несть до единаго.

4 Have evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on God?

Ни ли уразумеют вси делающии беззаконие, снедающии люди моя в снедь хлеба? Господа не призваша.

5 There they will be in great fear, where no fear had been, for God will scatter the bones of those who encamp against you. You will put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

Тамо устрашишася страха, идеже не бе страх: яко Бог разсыпа кости человекоугодников: постыдешася, яко Бог уничижи их.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God brings back his people from captivity, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.

Кто даст от Сиона спасение Израилево? Внегда возвратит Бог пленение людий Своих, возрадуется Иаков и возвеселится Израиль.
