Psalm 53 In Hebrew texts 53:1-6 is numbered 53:2-7. ¹ For the director of music. According to mahalath. Title: Probably a musical term A maskil Title: Probably a literary or musical term of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.

² God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

³ Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

⁴ Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.

⁵ But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them. ⁶ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
