L'uomo senza Dio

53 Al maestro del coro. Su «Macalat». Maskil.
Di Davide.

Lo stolto pensa:
«Dio non esiste».
Sono corrotti, fanno cose abominevoli,
nessuno fa il bene.
Dio dal cielo si china sui figli dell'uomo
per vedere se c'è un uomo saggio che cerca Dio.
Tutti hanno traviato,
tutti sono corrotti;
nessuno fa il bene;
neppure uno.
Non comprendono forse i malfattori
che divorano il mio popolo come il pane
e non invocano Dio?

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.
Chi manderà da Sion la salvezza di Israele?
Quando Dio farà tornare i deportati del suo popolo,
esulterà Giacobbe, gioirà Israele.

Folly and Wickedness of Men.

To the Chief Musician; in a mournful strain. A skillful song, or didactic or reflective poem of David.

53 The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt and evil, and have committed repulsive injustice;
There is no one who does good.

God has looked down from heaven upon the children of men
To see if there is anyone who understands,
Who seeks after God [who requires Him, who longs for Him as essential to life].

Every one of them has turned aside and fallen away;
Together they have become filthy and corrupt;
There is no one who does good, no, not even one.(A)


Have workers of wickedness no knowledge or no understanding?
They eat up My people as though they ate bread
And have not called upon God.

There they were, in great terror and dread, where there had been no terror or dread;
For God scattered the bones of him who besieged you;
You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores [the fortunes of] His people,
Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

Psalm 53[a](A)

For the director of music. According to mahalath.[b] A maskil[c] of David.

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.

God looks down from heaven(D)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(E)
    any who seek God.(F)
Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
    there is no one who does good,
    not even one.(G)

Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;
    they never call on God.
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)

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
    When God restores his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
