Psalms 53

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	1 Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his hear t: There is no God.
2 God looks down from heaven at the children of Adam, to see if a single one is wise, a single oneseeks God.	2 They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.
3 Al have proved faithless, al alike turned sour, not one of them does right, not a single one.	3 God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
4 Are they not aware, these evil-doers? They are devouring my people; this is the bread they eat, andthey never call upon God.	4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.
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.	5 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?
6 Who wil bring from Zion salvation for Israel? When God brings his people home, what joy for Jacob,what happiness for Israel!	6 They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.
	7 Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
