To the chief musician on mahalath, a maskil of David
53
📚✭The fool has said in his heart,“There is no God”.
They are corrupt, and have done
abominable wickedness.
There is no one who does good.
2 📚✭God looks down from heaven
on the children of men,
to see if there are any who
understand, who seek God.
3 📚Every one of them has turned away.
They have together become filthy✭.
There is no one
who does good.
No, not one.
4 📚Have the evildoers
no knowledge?
They eat up my people like they
eat bread,
and do not call out to God.
5 📚✭There they are, in great fear,
where there was no fear.
For God has scattered the bones
of him who encamped
against you.
You have put them
to shame,
because God has despised them.
6 📚Oh, that the salvation
of Israel would
come out of Zion!
When God brings back his people
from captivity✭,
Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be
glad.
