Psalm 53

For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David.
 ¹ The fool says in his heart,
   “There is no God.”
   They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
   there is no one who does good.
 ² God looks down from heaven
   on all mankind
   to see if there are any who understand,
   any who seek God. 
³ Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
   there is no one who does good,
   not even one.
 ⁴ Do all these evildoers know nothing?
   They devour my people as though eating bread;
   they never call on God. 
⁵ But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
   where there was nothing to dread.
   God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
   you put them to shame, for God despised them.
 ⁶ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
   When God restores his people,
   let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
