Zabur 53
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by Dawud.
1The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, and have done abominable works.
There is no one who does good.
2God looks down from heaven on
the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God.
3Every one of them has gone
back.
They have become filthy together.
There is no one who does good, no, not
one.[1]
4Have the workers of iniquity no
knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call on God?
5There they were in great fear, where no
fear was,
For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps
against you.
You have put them to shame,
Because God has rejected them.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel would
come out of Al-Quds!
When God brings back the captivity of his people,
Then Yaqub shall
rejoice.
Israel shall be glad.[2]
