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. |
