Psalm 53

21st Century King James Version

53 The fool hath said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt 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 understood, that had sought God.

³ Every one of them has turned back; they have altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁴ Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge—those who eat up my people as they eat bread? They have not called upon God.

⁵ There they were 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 O that the salvation of Israel might come out of Zion! When God bringeth back His captive people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
