Psalm 53

 Foolishness and Wickedness of People.

For the music director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

53 

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;

There is no one who does good.

2 

God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind

To see if there is anyone who understands,

Who seeks after God.

3 

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 no knowledge,

Who eat up My people like they ate bread,

And have not called upon God?

5 

They were in great fear there, where no fear had been;

For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you;

You put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

6 

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!

When God restores the fortunes of His people,

Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad. Psalm 53 NASB
