Psalm 53

There Is No One Who Does Good

53
For the choir director. According to 1Mahalath. A 2Maskil of David.
aThe wicked fool says in his heart, “There is no God,”They act corruptly, and commit abominable injustice;bThere is no one who does good.
2God looks down from heaven upon the sons of menTo see if there is aanyone who has insight,Anyone who bseeks after God.3aEvery one of them has turned back; together they have become 1worthless;There is no one who does good, not even one.4Do the workers of iniquity anot know,Who eat up my people as they eat breadAnd do not call upon God?5There they were in great dread awhere no dread had been;For God bscattered the bones of 1him who encamped against you;You cput them to shame, because dGod had rejected them.6Oh, that athe salvation of Israel 1would come out of Zion!When God 2restores His captive people,3May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
