Psalms 53:3

3 He comes up empty. A string of zeros. Useless, unshepherded Sheep, taking turns pretending to be Shepherd. The ninety and nine follow the one.

Psalms 53:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 53:3

Every one of them is gone back
From God, and the way of his commandments. In ( Psalms 14:3 ) , it is, "they are all gone aside"; (See Gill on Psalms 14:3);

they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good,
no, not one.
What follows in this verse is the same as ( Psalms 14:3 ) .

Psalms 53:3 In-Context

1 Bilious and bloated, they gas, "God is gone." It's poison gas - they foul themselves, they poison Rivers and skies; thistles are their cash crop.

2 God sticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He's looking for someone not stupid - one man, even, God-expectant, just one God-ready woman.

3 He comes up empty. A string of zeros. Useless, unshepherded Sheep, taking turns pretending to be Shepherd. The ninety and nine follow the one.

4 Don't they know anything, all these impostors? Don't they know they can't get away with this, Treating people like a fast-food meal over which they're too busy to pray?

5 Night is coming for them, and nightmare - a nightmare they'll never wake up from. God will make hash of these squatters, send them packing for good.
