792 B
Psalm 53A Portrait of Sinners
-
The fool says in his heart, "There's no God." They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good.
-
God looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise, one who seeks God.
-
All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.
-
Will evildoers never understand? They consume my people as they consume bread; they do not call on God.
-
Then they will be filled with dread-- dread like no other-- because God will scatter the bones of those who besiege you. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
-
Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
