Psalms 53 : 1 - 6
Chapter 53
1 | The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.
|
2 | God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
|
3 | Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.
|
4 | Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God?
|
5 | There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them.
|
6 | Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
