ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 53

LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 εις το τελος εν υμνοις συνεσεως τω δαυιδ	1 [For the choirmaster In sickness Poem Of David] The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God!'They are corrupt, vile and unjust, not one of them does right.
2 εν τω ελθειν τους ζιφαιους και ειπειν τω σαουλ ουκ ιδου δαυιδ κεκρυπται παρ' ημιν	2 God looks down from heaven at the children of Adam, to see if a single one is wise, a single oneseeks God.
3 ο θεος εν τω ονοματι σου σωσον με και εν τη δυναμει σου κρινον με	3 Al have proved faithless, al alike turned sour, not one of them does right, not a single one.
4 ο θεος εισακουσον της προσευχης μου ενωτισαι τα ρηματα του στοματος μου	4 Are they not aware, these evil-doers? They are devouring my people; this is the bread they eat, andthey never call upon God.
5 οτι αλλοτριοι επανεστησαν επ' εμε και κραταιοι εζητησαν την ψυχην μου ου προεθεντο τον θεον ενωπιον αυτων διαψαλμα	5 They wil be gripped with fear, just where there is no need for fear, for God scatters the bones of himwho besieges you; they are mocked because God rejects them.
6 ιδου γαρ ο θεος βοηθει μοι και ο κυριος αντιλημπτωρ της ψυχης μου	6 Who wil bring from Zion salvation for Israel? When God brings his people home, what joy for Jacob,what happiness for Israel!
7 αποστρεψει τα κακα τοις εχθροις μου εν τη αληθεια σου εξολεθρευσον αυτους
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
