Context of Psalms 53:6
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon God? 5There 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 rejected them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
