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 end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.

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

God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.

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

They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.

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

Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

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

or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.

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

Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.
