| 1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ μαελεθ συνέσεως τῷ Δαυιδ 2 εἶπεν ἄφρων ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν θεός διεφθάρησαν καὶ ἐβδελύχθησαν ἐν ἀνομίαις οὐκ ἔστιν ποιῶν ἀγαθόν 3 ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ διέκυψεν ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τοῦ ἰδεῖν εἰ ἔστιν συνίων ἢ ἐκζητῶν τὸν θεόν 4 πάντες ἐξέκλιναν ἅμα ἠχρεώθησαν οὐκ ἔστιν ποιῶν ἀγαθόν οὐκ ἔστιν ἕως ἑνός 5 οὐχὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν οἱ ἔσθοντες τὸν λαόν μου βρώσει ἄρτου τὸν θεὸν οὐκ ἐπεκαλέσαντο 6 ἐκεῖ φοβηθήσονται φόβον οὗ οὐκ ἦν φόβος ὅτι ὁ θεὸς διεσκόρπισεν ὀστᾶ ἀνθρωπαρέσκων κατῃσχύνθησαν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτούς 7 τίς δώσει ἐκ Σιων τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέψαι κύριον τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀγαλλιάσεται Ιακωβ καὶ εὐφρανθήσεται Ισραηλ | 1 There is no God above us, is the fond thought of reckless hearts. 2 Warped natures everywhere and hateful lives, there is not an innocent man among them. 3 God looks down from heaven at the race of men, to find one soul that reflects, and goes in search of him; 4 but no, all have missed the mark and rebelled against him; an innocent man is nowhere to be found. 5 What, can they learn nothing, all these traffickers in iniquity, who feed themselves fat on this people of mine, as if it were bread for their eating, 6 and never invoke God’s name? What wonder if fear unmans them, where they have no cause for fear? Where are the foes that hemmed thee round?[2] God has scattered their bones far and wide, forgotten as his enemies must ever be. 7 Oh, may Sion bring deliverance to Israel! Day of gladness for Jacob, day of Israel’s triumph, when God restores the fortunes of his own people. | 1 Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. 2 Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in iniquitatibus; non est qui faciat bonum. 3 Deus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum. 4 Omnes declinaverunt; simul inutiles facti sunt: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. 5 Nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis? 6 Deum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor. Quoniam Deus dissipavit ossa eorum qui hominibus placent: confusi sunt, quoniam Deus sprevit eos. 7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? cum converterit Deus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël. |
[1] vv. 1-7. See notes on Ps. 13. In the part common to the two psalms, this one uses ‘God’ where the earlier psalm uses ‘the Lord’, but otherwise there is no substantial variation except in verse 6.
[2] Some think that this verse was inserted to celebrate the destruction of Sennacherib’s army (IV Kg. 19.35).
