1 Psalm 53 There Is No One Who Does Good For the choir director. According to 53:0Sickness, a sad tone Mahalath. A 53:0Possibly Contemplative, Didactic, Skillful Psalm Maskil of David.The wicked fool says in his heart, “There is no God,”They act corruptly, and commit abominable injustice;There is no one who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven upon the sons of menTo see if there is anyone who has insight,Anyone who seeks after God.
3 Every one of them has turned back; together they have become 53:3Or corrupt worthless;There is no one who does good, not even one.
4 ¶Do the workers of iniquity not know,Who eat up my peopleasthey eat breadAnddo not call upon God?
5 There they were in great dreadwhereno dread had been;For God scattered the bones of 53:5Or possibly those him who encamped against you;You putthemto shame, because God had rejected them.
6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel 53:6Lit would be would come out of Zion!When God 53:6Or restores the fortunes of His people restores His captive people, 53:6Or Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
