PS-53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm]

of David. The

fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they,

 and have

done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.

PS-53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to

see if there

were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.

PS-53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether

become filthy;

[there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

PS-53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my

people [as]

they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

PS-53:5 There 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 despised them.

PS-53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!

When God

bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,

[and] Israel

shall be glad.
