Psalm 53
NKJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionInternational Standard Version
1To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A Contemplation of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.1Fools say to themselves "There is no God." They are corrupt and commit iniquity; not one of them practices what is good.
2God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.2God looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God.
3Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.3All of them have fallen away; together they have become corrupt; no one does what is good, not even one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God?4Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on God.
5There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them.5There the Israelis were seized with terror, when there was nothing to fear. For God scattered the bones of those who laid siege against you — you put them to shame, for God rejected them.
6Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.6Would that Israel's deliverance come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad.
