Psalm 53

    For the director of music. According to mahalath.^[a] A maskil^[b] of David.
 ¹ The fool says in his heart,
   “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
   there is no one who does good.
 ² God looks down from heaven
   on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
   any who seek God.
³ Everyone has turned away,
   they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
   not even one.
 ⁴ Will the evildoers never learn—
   those who devour my people as men eat bread
   and who do not call on God?
⁵ There they were, overwhelmed with dread,
   where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
   you put them to shame, for God despised them.
 ⁶ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
   When God restores the fortunes of his people,
   let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
