Psalms 53

   |   

To the director: Use the mahalath.[a] A maskil of David.

1 Only fools think there is no God.
    People like that are evil and do terrible things.
    They never do what is right.
2 God looks down from heaven to see
    if there is anyone who is wise,
    anyone who looks to him for help.
3 But everyone has turned away from him.
    Everyone has become evil.
No one does anything good.
    No, not one person!

4 Those who are evil treat my people like bread to be eaten.
    And they never ask for God's help.
    Don't they understand what they are doing?

5 They will be filled with fear—
    a fear like they have never felt before!
People of Israel, you will defeat those who attacked you,
    because God has rejected them.
And he will scatter their bones.

6 I wish the one who lives on Mount Zion
    would bring victory to Israel!
When God makes Israel successful again,
    the people of Jacob will be very happy;
    the people of Israel will be glad.
