Psalm 53

Hear Us, Shepherd (80)

The `fool has said_ / in his heart, 

`“There is / no~ God.”

They `are corrupt, and have done / vile~ deeds.

`There is no one / who does good.

`God looks down from heaven on the children / of mankind,

to `see if there are any who_ understand, who seek_ / after God.

`Ev’ry one of them has / turned away. • They `have together be_ / come corrupt.

`There is no one who does good_, no_ / not~ one.

(Ref)

Have `they no knowledge, all the workers of in / iquity,

`who eat up my people as_ they eat bread, and do not / call on God?

`But they will be / in great fear,

for `God will scatter the bones of him who en / camps against you. +

`You will put them / to~ shame,

be `cause God has re / jected them.

`Oh that the salvation of_ Israel would come_ / out of Zion!

When `God restores the fortunes / of his people,

then `Jacob / shall rejoice,

and `Israel_ / shall be glad.
