Psalm 53
JPS Tanakh 1917
1For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David.

2The fool hath said in his heart: ‘There is no God’;
They have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.
3God looked forth from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.
4Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure;
There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

5‘Shall not the workers of iniquity know it,
Who eat up My people as they eat bread,
And call not upon God?’
6There are they 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 rejected them.

7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When God turneth the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
