Psalms 53

   |   

Folly and Wickedness of Men.

For the choir director; according to [a]Mahalath. A [b]Maskil of David.

1 (a)The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God,"
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
(b)There is no one who does good.
2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is (c)anyone who [c]understands,
Who (d)seeks after God.
3 (e)Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.

4 Have the workers of wickedness (f)no knowledge,
Who eat up My people as though they ate bread
And have not called upon God?
5 There they were in great [d]fear (g)where no [e]fear had been;
For God (h)scattered the bones of [f]him who encamped against you;
You (i)put them to shame, because (j)God had rejected them.
6 Oh, that (k)the salvation of Israel [g]would come out of Zion!
When God [h]restores His captive people,
[i]Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
