Psalm 53
English Standard Version Anglicised
There Is None Who Does Good
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Mahalath. A Maskil[a] of David.
53 (B)The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,[b]
who seek after God.
3 They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4 Have those who work evil no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not call upon God?
5 There they are, in great terror,
(C)where there is no terror!
For God (D)scatters the bones of him who encamps against you;
you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

53 Au chef de chœur, sur la flûte. Cantique de David.
2 Le fou dit dans son cœur: «Il n’y a pas de Dieu!»
*Ils se sont corrompus, ils ont commis des injustices abominables;
il n’y en a aucun qui fasse le bien.
3 Du haut du ciel, Dieu observe les hommes
pour voir s’il y en a un qui est intelligent,
qui cherche Dieu.
4 Tous se sont détournés, ensemble ils se sont pervertis;
il n’y en a aucun qui fasse le bien,
pas même un seul.[a]
5 Ceux qui commettent l’injustice n’ont-ils aucune connaissance?
Ils dévorent mon peuple, ils le prennent pour nourriture,
ils ne font pas appel à Dieu.
6 Alors ils trembleront d’épouvante
sans qu’il y ait de raison d’avoir peur.
Dieu dispersera les os de ceux qui t’assiègent;
tu les couvriras de honte, car Dieu les a rejetés.
7 Oh! qui accordera depuis Sion la délivrance à Israël?
Quand Dieu rétablira son peuple,
Jacob sera dans l’allégresse, Israël se réjouira.

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!
