Psalm 53 (52)
The world without God.
2 The fool says in his heart, ¡°There is no God.¡± They are corrupt, their
ways are wicked; not one of them does good.
3 From heaven God looks down upon the people, to see if there is anyone who
seeks God and understands.
4 None! They have all fallen away. Depraved ¨C they are all alike. There is
no one who does good, no, not even one.
5 Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people just as they
devour food and never call on God.
6 There they are ¨C afraid when there is nothing to be feared. God will
scatter their bones; they will be put to shame because God has rejected
them.
7 May I see Israel¡¯s salvation coming forth from Zion! When God restores his
people¡¯s fortune, Jacob will be glad, Israel will rejoice.
