Psalms 53

The Fool Says, There is No God
1 To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

 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.
