Psalms 53

   |   

Foolishness and Wickedness of People.

For the music director; according to (FA)Mahalath. A (FB)Maskil of David.

1 (C1)The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
(C2)There is no one who does good.

2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind
To see if there is (C1)anyone who (F1)understands,
Who (C2)seeks after God.

3 (C1)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 injustice (C1)no knowledge,
Who eat up My people like they ate bread,
And have not called upon God?

5 They were in great (F1)fear there, (C1)where no (F1)fear had been;
For God (C2)scattered the bones of (F2)him who encamped against you;
You (C3)put them to shame, because (C4)God had rejected them.

6 Oh, that (C1)the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.
