Psalm 53

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David.

1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.

2GodH430 looked down from heaven upon the children of menH559, to see if there were anyH369 that didH6213 understand, that didH6213 seek after GodH430.

3Every one of them is gone back; they are togetherH5921 becomeH7200 filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, notH1121 one.

4Have the workersH6213 of iniquity noH369 knowledge? who eat upH3605 my people as they eat bread, and call notH369 upon GodH369.

5There were they in greatH430 fear, whereH3808 noH3808 fear was: for GodH430 hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; thou hast put them to shame, because GodH430 hath rejected them.

6Oh that the salvation of Israel were comeH1961 outH8033 of Zion! When GodH430 bringeth back the captivity of his peopleH3808, then shall JacobH8033 rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
