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.

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.
