Psalms53

This psalm begins by declaring the folly of those who deny God, leading to universal corruption and a lack of good deeds among humanity. God observes this depravity from heaven, noting that none truly seek Him. The psalmist anticipates God's judgment upon the wicked, who will experience fear and shame. Ultimately, the psalm expresses a hope for Israel's salvation and restoration, bringing joy and gladness.

The Fool's Denial and Universal Corruption

1
To the Overseer. --`On a disease.' --An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
2
God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, One seeking God.
3
Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good--not even one.

God Judges the Oppressors

4
Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
5
There they feared a fear--there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

A Prayer for Restoration

6
Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back to a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!
