53:1 [For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David]. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God," They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice; There is no one who does good. 53:2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, To see if there is anyone who understands, Who seeks after God. 53:3 Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. 53:4 Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge, Who eat up My people [as though] they ate bread, And have not called upon God? 53:5 There they were in great fear [where] no fear had been; For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you; You put [them] to shame, because God had rejected them. 53:6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores His captive people, Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad. 53:7
