Psalm 53 - To the chief Musician upon
Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.

The fool hath said in his
heart, There is no God.

Corrupt are they, and have done abominable
iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

God looked down from heaven upon the
children of men, to see if there were any

that did understand, that did seek God.

Every one of them is gone back: they
are altogether become filthy; there

is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?

who eat up my people as they eat
bread: they have not called upon God.

There were they in great fear, where
no fear was: for God hath scattered

the bones of him that encampeth
against thee: thou hast put them to

shame, because God hath despised them.

Oh that the salvation of
Israel were come out of Zion!

his people, Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
