Psalm 53 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

To the leader: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

¹ Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”
    They are corrupt, they commit abominable acts;
    there is no one who does good.

² God looks down from heaven on humankind
    to see if there are any who are wise,
    who seek after God.

³ They have all fallen away, they are all alike perverse;
    there is no one who does good,
    no, not one.

⁴ Have they no knowledge, those evildoers,
    who eat up my people as they eat bread,
    and do not call upon God?

⁵ There they shall be in great terror,
    in terror such as has not been.
For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly;
    they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them.

⁶ O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion!
    When God restores the fortunes of his people,
    Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
