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!

Psalms 53
53
A Fool Denies God
1For the music director: on Mahalath, a contemplative song of David.
2The fool says in his heart: “There is no God.” They are corrupt, commit vile injustice. There is no one who does good.
3God looks down from the heavens on the children of men, to see if anyone understands, who seeks after God.
4All have turned aside— together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good— no, not even one!
5Will the evildoers never learn? They consume My people as they would eat bread, and never call upon God.
6There they are in great dread— where there is nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those besieging you. You have put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
7Who will give salvation for Israel out of Zion? When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
