Psalm 53 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Foolishness and Wickedness of People.

Psa 53:1

For the music director; according to [fn]Mahalath. A [fn]Maskil of David.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;

There is no one who does good.

Psa 53:2

God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind

To see if there is anyone who [fn]understands,

Who seeks after God.

Psa 53:3

Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;

There is no one who does good, not even one.

Psa 53:4

Have the workers of injustice no knowledge,

Who eat up My people like they ate bread,

And have not called upon God?

Psa 53:5

They were in great [fn]fear there, where no [fn]fear had been;

For God scattered the bones of [fn]him who encamped against you;

You put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

Psa 53:6

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!

When God restores the fortunes of His people,

Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.
