Psalms 53

GNT

NIV

1 Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." They are all corrupt, and they have done terrible things; there is no one who does what is right.
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 at people to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.
2 God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3 But they have all turned away; they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right, not a single one.
3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4 "Don't they know?" God asks. "Are these evildoers ignorant? They live by robbing my people, and they never pray to me."
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.
5 But then they will become terrified, as they have never been before, for God will scatter the bones of the enemies of his people. God has rejected them, and so Israel will totally defeat 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 How I pray that victory will come to Israel from Zion. How happy the people of Israel will be when God makes them prosperous again!
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
