Psalms, 53
To the director over Maʹha·lath.*1 Masʹkil.*2 Of David.
1 The senseless one has said in his heart: “There is no Jehovah.”*1 They have acted ruinously and have acted detestably in unrighteousness; There is no one doing good.
|
2 As for God,*1 he has looked down from heaven itself upon the sons of men, To see whether there exists anyone having insight,*2 anyone seeking Jehovah.*3
|
3 They have all of them turned back, they are [all] alike corrupt; There is no one doing good, Not even one.
4 Have none of the practicers of what is hurtful got knowledge, Eating up my people as they have eaten bread? They have not called even upon Jehovah.*1
|
5 There they were filled with a great dread,*1 Where there had proved to be no dread; For God*2 himself will certainly scatter the bones of anyone camping against you. You will certainly put [them] to shame, for Jehovah*3 himself has rejected them.
|
6 O that out of Zion there were the grand salvation of Israel! When Jehovah*1 gathers back*2 the captive ones of his people, Let Jacob be joyful, let Israel rejoice.
