Psalm 53
The Folly and
Wickedness of Men |
| Ps. 14.1-7 |
| To the chief Musician upon
Ma'halath, Maschil, A Psalm of
David. |
|
| 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. Rom.
3.10-12
|
|
|
| 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. |
