53:1 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. 53:2 God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God. 53:3 Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one. 53:4 Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called. 53:5 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. 53:6 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! 53:7 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
