Psalm 53

Psalm 53 - Versions
Psalm 53 Text (WEB) 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. God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God. Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don't call on God? There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them. Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"
Psalm 53 Text (Hebrew) אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו והתעיבו עול אין עשה־טוב׃ אלהים משמים השקיף על־בני אדם לראות היש משכיל דרש את־אלהים׃ כלו סג יחדו נאלחו אין עשה־טוב אין גם־אחד׃ הלא ידעו פעלי און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם אלהים לא קראו׃ שם פחדו־פחד לא־היה פחד כי־אלהים פזר עצמות חנך הבשתה כי־אלהים מאסם׃ מי יתן מציון ישעות ישראל בשוב אלהים שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל׃
Psalm 53 Text (Greek) ειπεν αφρων εν καρδια αυτου ουκ εστιν θεος διεφθαρησαν και εβδελυχθησαν εν ανομιαις ουκ εστιν ποιων ο θεος εκ του ουρανου διεκυψεν επι τους υιους των ανθρωπων του ιδειν ει εστιν συνιων η εκζητων τον παντες εξεκλιναν αμα ηχρεωθησαν ουκ εστιν ποιων αγαθον ουκ εστιν εως ουχι γνωσονται παντες οι εργαζομενοι την ανομιαν οι εσθοντες τον λαον μου βρωσει αρτου τον θεον ουκ εκει φοβηθησονται φοβον ου ουκ ην φοβος οτι ο θεος διεσκορπισεν οστα ανθρωπαρεσκων κατησχυνθησαν οτι ο θεος εξουδενωσεν τις δωσει εκ σιων το σωτηριον του ισραηλ εν τω επιστρεψαι κυριον την αιχμαλωσιαν του λαου αυτου αγαλλιασεται ιακωβ και ευφρανθησεται
Psalm 53 Text (Latin) In finem, pro Maëleth intelligentiæ. David. Dixit insipiens in corde suo : Non est Deus. Deus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum. Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt ; non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. Nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis ? Deum non invocaverunt ; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor. Quoniam Deus dissipavit ossa eorum qui hominibus placent : confusi sunt, quoniam Deus sprevit eos. Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël ? Cum converterit Deus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël.
Psalm 53 Text (KJV) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
