Psalms 53
1 For the choir director, according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.
2 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They act corruptly and commit detestable injustice; there is no one who does good.
3 God looked down from heaven on humankind to see whether anyone had understanding, anyone who sought God.
4 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.
5 Do those who practice evil not know? They devour my people as though they were eating bread, and they do not call on God.
6 There they trembled with terror, where there was no terror, because God scattered the bones of those who camped against you. You put them to shame, because God rejected them.
7 If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
