Psalm 53 |
|
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of
David. |
| 1 |
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth
good. |
| 2 |
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see
if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. |
| 3 |
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become
filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
| 4 |
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. |
| 5 |
There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God
hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou
hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. |
| 6 |
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When
God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. |
