Psalms, Chapter 53
1. For the leader; on mahalath. A maskil of David.
2. The benighted man thinks, "God does not care." Man's wrongdoing is corrupt and loathsome; no one does good.
3. God looks down from heaven on mankind to find a man of understanding, a man mindful of God.
4. Everyone is dross, altogether foul; there is none who does good, not even one.
5. Are they so witless, those evildoers, who devour my people as they devour food, and do not invoke God?
6. There they will be seized with fright -- never was there such a fright -- for God has scattered the bones of your besiegers; you have put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
7. O that the deliverance of Israel might come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice.
