Psalm 53

1  The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ ♦︎
   Corrupt are they, and abominable in their wickedness;
      there is no one that does good.
2  God has looked down from heaven upon the children of earth, ♦︎
   to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks after God.
3  They are all gone out of the way;
      all alike have become corrupt; ♦︎
   there is no one that does good, no not one.
4  Have they no knowledge, those evildoers, ♦︎
   who eat up my people as if they ate bread,
      and do not call upon God?
5  There shall they be in great fear,
      such fear as never was; ♦︎
   for God will scatter the bones of the ungodly.
6  They will be put to shame, ♦︎
   because God has rejected them.
7  O that Israel’s salvation would come out of Zion! ♦︎
   When God restores the fortunes of his people
      then will Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
