Psalms 53

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 <<To the chief musician: Upon "Mahalath." Maschil. A Psalm of David.>> The fool hath said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any that understood, that had sought God.

3 Every one of them has turned back; they have altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge--those who eat up my people as they eat bread? They have not called upon God.

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was; for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

6 O that the salvation of Israel might come out of Zion! When God bringeth back His captive people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Godless fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do disgusting things. There is no one who does good things.

2 God looks down from heaven on Adam's descendants to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, if there is anyone who seeks help from God.

3 Everyone has fallen away. Together they have become rotten to the core. No one, not even one person, does good things.

4 Are all those troublemakers, those who devour my people as if they were devouring food, so ignorant that they do not call on God?

5 There they are--panic-stricken-- [but] there was no reason to panic, because God has scattered the bones of those who set up camp against you. You put them to shame. After all, God has rejected them.

6 If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice. Israel will be glad.
