Psalm 53
- Only fools say in their hearts,
"There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
- God looks down from heaven
on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.
- But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt.
No one does good,
not a single one!
- Will those who do evil never learn?
They eat up my people like bread
and wouldn't think of praying to God.
- Terror will grip them,
terror like they have never known before.
God will scatter the bones of your enemies.
You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
- Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?
When God restores his people,
Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
