Psalms 53

RSVA

NIV

1 To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none that does good.
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 upon the sons of men to see if there are any that are wise, that seek after God.
2 God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3 They have all fallen away; they are all alike depraved; there is none that does good, no, not one.
3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4 Have those who work evil no understanding, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.
5 There they are, in great terror, in terror such as has not been! For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly; they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them.
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 O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad.
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
