Psalm 53

The Folly and Wickedness of Men

53¹ Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! ² God looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. ³ But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one! ⁴ Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn't think of praying to God. ⁵ Terror will grip them, terror like they have never known before. God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them. ⁶ Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When God restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
