Psalms 53

1 David describeth the corruption of a natural man. 4 He convinceth the wicked by the light of their own conscience. 6 He glorieth in the salvation of God.

 53:1 ¶ [[To the Chief Musician. On Mahalath. A Psalm of Instruction, of David.]] The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good:—

 53:2 God, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men,—To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring after God.

 53:3 They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted,—There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, one!

 53:4 Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, [as] they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.

 53:5 There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger,—Thou hast put [him] to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

 53:6 Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, shall be glad.
