Salm 52 (53)

Bluha tal-ħżienaIl-bnedmin kollha dinbu u ċċaħdu mill-glorja ta’ Alla. (Rum 3,23) 

Jgħid l-iblah f’qalbu: “M’hemmx Alla!” *
Tħassru l-bnedmin,għamlu ħwejjeġ ta’ min jistmellhom; *
m’hemm ħadd li jagħmel is-sewwa.
Alla mis-sema jittawwal fuq il-bnedmin, *
biex jara jekk hemmx min hu għaqli,
min ifittex lil Alla. 

Ilkoll intilfu, †
ilkoll flimkien tħażżnu; *
ħadd ma jagħmel is-sewwa, anqas biss wieħed.
Ma jintebħux dawk kollha li jagħmlu l-ħażen, *
dawk li qatt ma jsejħu lil Alla?
li jaħtfu l-poplu tiegħi *
kif wieħed jaħtaf il-ħobż?
Biża’ kbir waqa’ fuqhom, *
bla ma kellhom għalfejn;
għax Alla kissrilhom għadamhom lil dawk li dawruk; *
tħawdu, għax Alla telaqhom. 

Min iġib minn Sijon il-ħelsien ta’ Iżrael? *
Meta jerġa’ jqajjem Alla l-poplu tiegħu,
jifraħ Ġakobb, jithenna Iżrael. 

Glorja.

Daytime Prayer, Tuesday 27 of February 2024

Psalm 53
The foolishness of sinners

We have all sinned and are deprived of God’s glory (Romans 3:23).

The fool has said in his heart: *
“There is no God above.”
Their deeds are corrupt, depraved; *
not a good man is left.

God looks down from heaven *
on the sons of men,
to see if any are wise, *
if any seek God.

All have left the right path; *
depraved, every one.
There is not a good man left, *
no, not even one.

Will the evil-doers not understand? *
They eat up my people
as though they were eating bread; *
they never pray to God.

See how they tremble with fear *
without cause for fear:
for God scatters the bones of the wicked. *
They are shamed; God rejects them.

O that Israel’s salvation might come from Zion! †
When God delivers his people from bondage, *
then Jacob will be glad and Israel rejoice.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
