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!

Psalm 53
53
There Is None Who Does Good
To the choirmaster: according to #Ps. 88, titleMahalath. A Maskil#53:1 Probably musical or liturgical terms of David.
1 # For ver. 1-6, see Ps. 14:1-7 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.
2God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,#53:2 Or who act wisely
who seek after God.
3They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4Have those who work evil no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not call upon God?
5There they are, in great terror,
# [Lev. 26:17, 36; Prov. 28:1] where there is no terror!
For God #Ps. 89:10; 141:7; Jer. 8:1, 2; Ezek. 6:5scatters the bones of him who encamps against you;
you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
6Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
