Psalms 53
53
Psalm 53
For the music leader, according to the mahalath. A maskil#53.0 Perhaps instruction of David.
1Fools say in their hearts, There’s no God.
They are corrupt and do horrible deeds;
not one of them does anything good.
2God looks down from heaven on humans
to see if anyone is wise,
to see if anyone seeks God.
3But all have turned away.
Everyone is corrupt.
No one does good—
not even one person!
4Are they dumb—these evildoers—
devouring my people like they are eating bread
but never calling on God?
5There, where there was nothing to fear,
they will be in utter panic
because God will scatter the bones
of those who attacked you.
You will put them to shame
because God has rejected them.
6Let Israel’s salvation come out of Zion!
When God changes
his people’s circumstances for the better,
Jacob will rejoice;
Israel will celebrate!

Psalms 53
53
Psalm 53#53:0 Psalm 53 is virtually identical in wording to Psalm 14.
For the choir director; according to mahalath,#53:0 Unknown musical term. a maskil by David.
1Godless fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt.
They do disgusting things.
There is no one who does good things.
2God looks down from heaven on Adam’s descendants
to see if there is anyone who acts wisely,
if there is anyone who seeks help from God.
3Everyone has fallen away.
Together they have become rotten to the core.
No one, not even one person, does good things.
4Are all those troublemakers,
those who devour my people as if they were devouring food,
so ignorant that they do not call on God?
5There they are—panic-stricken—
⌞but⌟ there was no reason to panic,
because God has scattered the bones
of those who set up camp against you.
You put them to shame.
After all, God has rejected them.
6If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
Jacob will rejoice.
Israel will be glad.
