Psalms 53

A Portrait of Sinners

For the choir director: on Mahalath. A Davidic Maskil.

1 The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.”

They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds.

There is no one who does good.

2 God looks down from heaven on the human race

to see if there is one who is wise,

one who seeks God.

3 All have turned away;

all alike have become corrupt.

There is no one who does good,

not even one.

4 Will evildoers never understand?

They consume My people as they consume bread;

they do not call on God.

5 Then they will be filled with terror —

terror like no other—

because God will scatter

the bones of those who besiege you.

You will put them to shame,

for God has rejected them.

6 Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!

When God restores the fortunes of His people,

Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
