Psalms 53

  1. 1<pb/><e>For the director of music. According to mahalath.</e><f>[93]</f> A <e>maskil</e><f>[94]</f> of David. <pb/><t>The fool says in his heart,</t> <t>“There is no God.”</t> <t>They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;</t> <t>there is no one who does good. <pb/></t>
  2. 2<t>God looks down from heaven</t> <t>on all mankind</t> <t>to see if there are any who understand,</t> <t>any who seek God.</t>
  3. 3<t>Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;</t> <t>there is no one who does good,</t> <t>not even one. <pb/></t>
  4. 4<t>Do all these evildoers know nothing? <pb/>They devour my people as though eating bread;</t> <t>they never call on God.</t>
  5. 5<t>But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,</t> <t>where there was nothing to dread.</t> <t>God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;</t> <t>you put them to shame, for God despised them. <pb/></t>
  6. 6<t>Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!</t> <t>When God restores his people,</t> <t>let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!</t>
