Salmi 53
Nuova Riveduta 2006
Ritratto dell’empio
53 (A)Al direttore del coro. Per flauto.
Cantico di Davide.
Lo stolto ha detto in cuor suo: «Non c’è Dio».
Sono corrotti, commettono iniquità,
non c’è nessuno che faccia il bene.
2 Dio guarda dal cielo i figli degli uomini
per vedere se c’è una persona intelligente, che cerchi Dio.
3 Tutti si sono sviati, tutti sono corrotti,
non c’è nessuno che faccia il bene, neppure uno.
4 Sono dunque senza conoscenza questi malvagi,
che divorano il mio popolo come se fosse pane
e non invocano Dio?
5 Ma ecco, sono presi da grande spavento
là dove non c’erano motivi di paura;
poiché Dio ha disperso le ossa di quelli che ti assediavano;
tu li hai resi confusi, perché Dio li respinge.
6 Oh, chi darà da Sion la salvezza d’Israele?
Quando Dio farà ritornare gli esuli del suo popolo[a],
Giacobbe esulterà, Israele si rallegrerà.

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.

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!
