Psalms 53

RHE

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 all mankind 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, all have 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 Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never 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 But there they are, 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 his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
