Psalms 53

1 (0) For the leader. On machalat. A maskil of David:

2 (1) A brutish fool tells himself,
"There isn't any God."
Such people are depraved, all their deeds are vile,
not one of them does what is good.
3 (2) God looks out from heaven
upon the human race
to see if even one is wise,
if even one seeks God.
4 (3) Every one of them is unclean,
altogether corrupt;
not one of them does what is good,
not a single one.

5 (4) Won't these evildoers ever learn?
They devour my people
as if they were eating bread,
and they never call on God!
6 (5) They will be gripped with terror,
even though now they are not afraid;
for God will scatter the bones
of him who is besieging you.
You are putting them to shame,
because God has rejected them.

7 (6) If only salvation for Isra'el
would come out of Tziyon!
When God restores his people's fortunes,
what joy for Ya‘akov! what gladness for Isra'el!
