Psalm 53


There Is No One Who Does Good

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.

2
God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is aanyone who has insight,
Anyone who bseeks after God.

3
aEvery one of them has turned back; together they have become 1worthless;
There is no one who does good, not even one.


4
Do the workers of iniquity anot know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread
And do not call upon God?

5
There 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.

6
Oh, that athe salvation of Israel 1would come out of Zion!
When God 2restores His captive people,
3May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
