King James VersionPsalms53

Psalms

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Cor­rupt are they, and have done abom­inable in­iq­ui­ty: there is none that doeth good.
2 God looked down from heav­en upon the chil­dren of men, to see if there were any that did un­der­stand, that did seek God.
3 Ev­ery one of them is gone back: they are al­to­geth­er be­come filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the work­ers of in­iq­ui­ty no knowl­edge? who eat up my peo­ple as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scat­tered the bones of him that en­cam­peth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, be­cause God hath de­spised them.
6 Oh that the sal­va­tion of Is­rael were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the cap­tiv­i­ty of his peo­ple, Ja­cob shall re­joice, and Is­rael shall be glad.
