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.

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!
