Psalms 53
53
Psalm 53#In Hebrew texts 53:1-6 is numbered 53:2-7.
For the director of music. According to mahalath.#Title: Probably a musical term A maskil#Title: Probably a literary or musical term of David.
1The fool says in his heart,
‘There is no God.’
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no-one who does good.
2God looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no-one who does good,
not even one.
4Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on God.
5But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Psalm 53
53
1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David,
2 when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, "Has not David been hidden with us?"
3 Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.
4 O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
5 For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.
6 For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
7 Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.
8 I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.
9 For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
