Psalms 53 The wicked denies God and becomes corrupt

 Psalms 53

The wicked denies God and becomes corrupt

1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have become corrupt and have committed abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

2 God has looked down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand and seek God.

3 They have all turned away, they have together become filthy; there is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Do these workers of iniquity not know, who eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call on God.

5 Behold, they are in great fear, where there was no fear, for God has scattered the bones of him who besieged you; you have put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad.
