Salmi 53
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
L'uomo senza Dio
53 Al maestro del coro. Su «Macalat». Maskil.
Di Davide.
2 Lo stolto pensa:
«Dio non esiste».
Sono corrotti, fanno cose abominevoli,
nessuno fa il bene.
3 Dio dal cielo si china sui figli dell'uomo
per vedere se c'è un uomo saggio che cerca Dio.
4 Tutti hanno traviato,
tutti sono corrotti;
nessuno fa il bene;
neppure uno.
5 Non comprendono forse i malfattori
che divorano il mio popolo come il pane
e non invocano Dio?
6 Hanno tremato di spavento,
là dove non c'era da temere.
Dio ha disperso le ossa degli aggressori,
sono confusi perché Dio li ha respinti.
7 Chi manderà da Sion la salvezza di Israele?
Quando Dio farà tornare i deportati del suo popolo,
esulterà Giacobbe, gioirà Israele.
Psalm 53
New King James Version
Folly of the Godless, and the Restoration of Israel(A)
To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A [a]Contemplation of David.
53 The (B)fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
(C)There is none who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who (D)seek God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity (E)no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?
5 (F)There they are in great fear
Where no fear was,
For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;
You have put them to shame,
Because God has despised them.
6 (G)Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back [b]the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
