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
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David.
1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity.
There is no one who does good.
2God looks down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there are any who understood,
who seek after God.
3Every one of them has gone back.
They have become filthy together.
There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and don’t call on God?
5There they were in great fear, where no fear was,
for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you.
You have put them to shame,
because God has rejected them.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back his people from captivity,
then Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
