Psalm 53 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Folly and Wickedness of Men.

(Psa 14:1–7 )

Psa 53:1To the Overseer. -- 'On a disease.' -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

Psa 53:2

Psa 53:2God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, One seeking God.

Psa 53:3

Psa 53:3Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one.

Psa 53:4

Psa 53:4Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

Psa 53:5

Psa 53:5There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

Psa 53:6

Psa 53:6Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back to a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
