PSALM 53
Profil der gottlosen;Welt; Bitte um Rettung
53 Dem Vorsänger. Auf der Machalat[a]. Eine Unterweisung von David.
2 Die Narren sprechen in ihrem Herzen:
„Es gibt keinen Gott!“
Sie handeln verderblich und greulich verkehrt;
keiner ist, der Gutes tut.
3 Gott schaut vom Himmel auf die Menschenkinder herab,
zu sehen, ob jemand so klug sei,
daß er nach Gott frage.
4 [Doch] alle sind abgewichen, allesamt verdorben,
keiner ist, der Gutes tut,
kein einziger!
5 Haben das die Übeltäter nicht erfahren,
die mein Volk verschlingen, als äßen sie Brot?
Gott aber riefen sie nicht an.
6 Dort aber fürchteten sie sich,
wo nichts zu fürchten war;
denn Gott zerstreute die Gebeine deiner Belagerer;
du machtest sie zuschanden; denn Gott verwarf sie.
7 Ach, daß aus Zion die Rettung für Israel käme!
Wenn Gott die Gefangenschaft seines Volkes wendet,
wird Jakob sich freuen und Israel fröhlich sein.

Psalm 53
New International Version
Psalm 53[a](A)
For the director of music. According to mahalath.[b] A maskil[c] of David.
1 The fool(B) says in his heart,
“There is no God.”(C)
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven(D)
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(E)
any who seek God.(F)
3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.(G)
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on God.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.(H)
God scattered the bones(I) of those who attacked you;(J)
you put them to shame,(K) for God despised them.(L)
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Psalm 53
King James Version
53 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5 There were 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 despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
