Psalm 53A Portrait of Sinners
|
|
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
|
|
2. God looks down from heaven on the human race
|
|
to see if there is one who is wise,
|
|
one who seeks God.
|
|
|
|
3. All have turned away;
|
|
all alike have become corrupt.
|
|
There is no one who does good,
|
|
not even one.
|
|
|
|
4. Will evildoers never understand?
|
|
They consume my people as they consume bread;
|
|
they do not call on God.
|
|
|
|
5. 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.
|
|
|
|
6. Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion!
|
|
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
|
|
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
