Chapter 53

Other Translations:   Joseph Smith Translation   Douay Rheims   American Standard

To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.

1 ¶ The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.

3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

5 There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised them.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
