089) Psalm 53

Psalm 53 To the chief musician upon Mahalath, Maschil. apsalmof David.

8.6.8.6

1 The fool in’s heart saith, there’s no God; they are corrupt, have done abominable practices; that doth good there is none.

2 The Lord from heaven looked down on sons of men, to see if any that doth understand, that seeketh God there be.

3 All are gone back, together they ev’n filthy are become: and there is none that doeth good, no not so much as one.

4 The workers of iniquities have they no knowledge all? who eat my people: they eat bread; and on God do not call.

5 Greatly they fear’d, where no fear was, ‘gainst thee in camp that lies his bones God scattered; and them sham’d for God doth them despise.

6 Who Israel’s health from Sion gives? his folks captivity when God shall turn: Jacob shall joy glad Israel shall be.
