Psalms 53:1-6
1123The foolH5036 has saidH559 in his heartH3820, “ThereH369 isH369 noH369 GodH430.” They areH7843 corruptH7843, and have committedH8581 abominableH8581 injusticeH5766; 4ThereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 who doesH6213 goodH2896.2GodH430 has lookedH8259 downH8259 from heavenH8064 upon the sonsH1121 of mankindH120 To seeH7200 if thereH3426 isH3426 5anyone who 6understandsH7919, Who 7seeksH1875 after GodH430.38EveryH3605 oneH3605 of them has turnedH5472 asideH5472; togetherH3164 they have becomeH444 corruptH444; ThereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 who doesH6213 goodH2896, not evenH1571 oneH259.
4HaveH3045 the workersH6466 of injusticeH205 9noH3808 knowledgeH3045, Who eatH398 upH398 My peopleH5971 like they ateH398 breadH3899, And have not calledH7121 upon GodH430?5They were in greatH6343 10fearH6343 thereH8033, 11where noH3808 12fearH6343 had beenH1961; For GodH430 13scatteredH6340 the bonesH6106 of 14him who encampedH2583 against you; You 15putH954 them toH954 shameH954, becauseH3588 16GodH430 had rejectedH3988 them.6OhH4310H5414, that 17the salvationH3444 of IsraelH3478 would come from ZionH6726! When GodH430 restoresH7725 the fortunesH7622 of His peopleH5971, JacobH3290 shall rejoiceH1523, IsraelH3478 shall beH8055 gladH8055.
