Psalm 53
53
The Folly and Wickedness of Men
(Psalm 14.1-7)
To the chief Musician upon Ma´halath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1 #
Rom 3.10-12. The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no God.
Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good.
2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3Every one of them is gone back:
they are altogether become filthy;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
who eat up my people as they eat bread:
they have not called upon God.
5There were they in great fear, where no fear was:
for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee:
thou hast put them to shame,
because God hath despised them.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When God bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalms 53
53
For the music director. According to Mahalath. A psalm (maskil) of David.#53:0. This psalm is almost identical to Psalms 14.
1Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral, they commit terrible sins, not a single one of them does anything good.
2God watches from heaven to see if anyone understands, if anyone wants to come to God.
3They have all fallen away, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.
4“Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to me.”#53:4 These are clearly the words of God so are placed within quotes.
5They will become completely terrified, more frightened than they have ever been. God will scatter the bones of those who fight against you; you will defeat#53:5. Or “put them to shame.” them because God has rejected them.
6If only God's salvation would come from Zion! When God restores#53:6. The term used here is often applied to the return from Exile, but here would apply to the blessings the people would receive when they returned to God. his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
