- Chapter 53 -

The fool says there is no God

(Psalm 14:1-7; Isaiah 59:1-17; Romans 3:9-20)
1
For the chief musician; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.
2
God looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.
3
They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, not even one.
4
Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding-those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and they do not call on God?
5
They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put to shame because God has rejected them.
6
Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!
