53
To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David.
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no °God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2 °God looked down from the heavens 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 together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon °God.
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for °God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for °God hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When °God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
