Psalm 53

Revised Geneva Translation

53 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have corrupted and done abominable wickedness. There is no one that does good.

² God looked down from Heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who would understand and seek God.

³ Everyone has gone back. They are altogether corrupt. There is no one who does good; no, not one.

⁴ Do not the workers of iniquity know that they eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call upon God.

⁵ There they were in fear where no fear was. For God has scattered the bones of him who besieged you. You have put them to confusion because God has cast them off.

⁶ Oh, give salvation to Israel out of Zion! When God turns the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice; and Israel shall be glad. To him who excels on Neginoth: A Psalm of David, to give instruction, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, “Is not David hidden among us?”
