Псалтирь 53

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

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.

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

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

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

Every one of them has gone back. They have together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

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

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?

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

There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against thee. Thou have put them to shame because God has rejected them.

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

O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
