Psalms 53

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 For the leader; according to Mahalath. A maskil of David.	1 In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David,
2 Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt; not one does what is right.	2 cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul : Nonne David absconditus est apud nos ?
3 God looks down from heaven upon the human race, To see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.	3 Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.
4 All have gone astray; all alike are perverse. Not one does what is right, not even one.	4 Deus, exaudi orationem meam ; auribus percipe verba oris mei.
5 Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people as they devour bread; they do not call upon God.	5 Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quæsierunt animam meam, et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
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.	6 Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.
7 Oh, that from Zion might come the deliverance of Israel, That Jacob may rejoice and Israel be glad when God restores the people!	7 Averte mala inimicis meis ; et in veritate tua disperde illos.
	8 Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.
	9 Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
