Psalm 53 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 53

¹For the director of music. According to mahalath. [93] A maskil [94] 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.

²God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

³Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

⁴Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.

⁵But there they are, 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.

⁶Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
