PSALM 53

« Psalm 52 | Psalm 53 | Psalm 54 »

There Is None Who Does Good

To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

53:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.





2 God looks down from heaven on the children of man to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.





3 They have all fallen away; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.





4 Have those who work evil no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?





5 There they are, in great terror, where there is no terror! For God scatters the bones of him who encamps against you; you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.





6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
