Psalms 53

Read in parallel →

1 For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David.

2 The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; They have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.

3 God looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

4 Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

5 ’Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, Who eat up My people as they eat bread, And call not upon God?'

6 There are they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
