Psalm, 53

To the director; in the style of Maʹha·lath.*1 Masʹkil.*2 Of David.

1 The foolish*1 one says in his heart: “There is no Jehovah.” Their unrighteous actions are corrupt and detestable; No one is doing good.

  1. Or “senseless.”

2 But God looks down from heaven on the sons of men To see whether anyone has insight, whether anyone is seeking Jehovah.

3 They have all turned away; They are all alike corrupt. No one is doing good, Not even one.

4 Do none of the wrongdoers understand? They devour my people as if they were eating bread. They do not call on Jehovah.

5 But they will be filled with great terror, Terror they have never felt before,*1 For God will scatter the bones of those attacking you.*2 You will put them to shame, for Jehovah has rejected them.

  1. Or possibly, “Fear where there was nothing to fear.”

  2. Lit., “camping against you.”

6 O that Israel’s salvation may come from Zion! When Jehovah gathers back his captive people, Let Jacob be joyful, let Israel rejoice.
