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.

Psalms 53
53
To the Overseer. — ‘On a disease.’ — An instruction, by David.
1A fool said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
2God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.
3Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good — not even one.
4Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
5There they feared a fear — there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
6Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
