Psalms 53 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 53
1Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David,
2when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?”
3Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.
4O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
5For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.
6For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
7Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.
8I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.
9For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
Psalms 53
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
