Psalms 53

To the director; a psalm for contemplation upon the harp,; to David.

53:1The fool said in his heart, There is no God. They were corrupt and abhorrent in lawless deeds. There is not one doing good.

53:2God from out of the heaven looks upon the sons of men, to behold if there is one perceiving or seeking after God.

53:3All turned aside; together they were made useless; there is not one doing good, there is not even one.

53:4Shall all the ones working lawlessness not know, the ones eating up my people for solid food of bread? They did not call upon the lord.

53:5There they feared a fear, where there was no fear; for God dispersed the bones of ones trying to please men. They were disgraced, for God treated them with contempt.

53:6Who will appoint from out of Zion deliverance for Israel? In God returning the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult and Israel shall be glad.
