New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 (52-1) <Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David.> The fool said in his heart: There is no God. (52-2) They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.
|
1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
|
|
2 (52-3) God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
|
2 God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
|
|
3 (52-4) All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.
|
3 Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
|
|
4 (52-5) Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?
|
4 Will the evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on God?
|
|
5 (52-6) 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.
|
5 There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them.
|
|
6 (52-7) 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.
|
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
