Psalms 53:3 In-Context

1 Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." Fools are evil and do terrible things; none of them does anything good.

2 God looked down from heaven on all people to see if anyone was wise, if anyone was looking to God for help.

3 But all have turned away. Together, everyone has become evil; none of them does anything good. Not a single person.

4 Don't the wicked understand? They destroy my people as if they were eating bread. They do not ask God for help.

5 The wicked are filled with terror where there had been nothing to fear. God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will defeat them, because God has rejected them.
