Psalms 53
Psalms 53:1. To the Overseer. --`On a disease.' --An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart,
`There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
Psalms 53:2 God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.
Psalms 53:3 Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good--not even one.
Psalms 53:4 Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
Psalms 53:5 There they feared a fear--there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
Psalms 53:6 Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!
