Psalms 53
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1(53-1) For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David. (53-2) The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.
1Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.
2(53-3) God looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.
2When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?
3(53-4) Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
3Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
4(53-5) 'Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?'
4O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
5(53-6) There are 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 rejected them.
5For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
6(53-7) Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
6For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
