ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 53

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 εις το τελος εν υμνοις συνεσεως τω δαυιδ	1 For the leader; according to Mahalath. A maskil of David.
2 εν τω ελθειν τους ζιφαιους και ειπειν τω σαουλ ουκ ιδου δαυιδ κεκρυπται παρ' ημιν	2 Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt; not one does what is right.
3 ο θεος εν τω ονοματι σου σωσον με και εν τη δυναμει σου κρινον με	3 God looks down from heaven upon the human race, To see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.
4 ο θεος εισακουσον της προσευχης μου ενωτισαι τα ρηματα του στοματος μου	4 All have gone astray; all alike are perverse. Not one does what is right, not even one.
5 οτι αλλοτριοι επανεστησαν επ' εμε και κραταιοι εζητησαν την ψυχην μου ου προεθεντο τον θεον ενωπιον αυτων διαψαλμα	5 Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people as they devour bread; they do not call upon God.
6 ιδου γαρ ο θεος βοηθει μοι και ο κυριος αντιλημπτωρ της ψυχης μου	6 They have good reason to fear, though now they do not fear. For God will certainly scatter the bones of the godless. They will surely be put to shame, for God has rejected them.
7 αποστρεψει τα κακα τοις εχθροις μου εν τη αληθεια σου εξολεθρευσον αυτους	7 Oh, that from Zion might come the deliverance of Israel, That Jacob may rejoice and Israel be glad when God restores the people!
8 εκουσιως θυσω σοι εξομολογησομαι τω ονοματι σου κυριε οτι αγαθον
9 οτι εκ πασης θλιψεως ερρυσω με και εν τοις εχθροις μου επειδεν ο οφθαλμος μου
