Psalms 53

1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

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.

1To 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.

2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

2God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, <FI>One<Fi> seeking God.

3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

3Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

3Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good--not even one.

4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon God?

4Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

5There 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.

5There 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 rejected them.

5There 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.

6Oh 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.

6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

6Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back <FI>to<Fi> a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!
