Psalms - Chapter 53 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David.} The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
  • 2. God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
  • 3. Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
  • 4. Will the evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on God?
  • 5. There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them.
  • 6. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
