| Psa. 53:1 |
The fool has said in his heart, / There is no God. / They are corrupt and commit abominable deeds; / There is none who does good. |
| Psa. 53:2 |
God looked down from heaven / Upon the sons of men / To see if there was anyone who had insight, / Who seeks after God. |
| Psa. 53:3 |
All of them have turned back; / They are together perverse. / There is none who does good; / There is not even one. |
| Psa. 53:4 |
Have they no knowledge, the workers of iniquity, / Who eat up my people [as] they would eat up bread / [And] do not call upon God? |
| Psa. 53:5 |
There they were in great fear, / Where there was no fear. / For God scattered the bones / Of him who encamped against you. / You put [them] to shame / Because God has rejected them. |
| Psa. 53:6 |
Oh that the salvation of Israel might come forth from Zion! / When God turns the captivity of His people, / Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice. |
