Psalm 53
ISV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNew International Version
1Fools say to themselves "There is no God." They are corrupt and commit iniquity; not one of them practices what is good.1For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
2God looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God.2God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3All of them have fallen away; together they have become corrupt; no one does what is good, not even one.3Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on God.4Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.
5There the Israelis were seized with terror, when there was nothing to fear. For God scattered the bones of those who laid siege against you — you put them to shame, for God rejected them.5But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6Would that Israel's deliverance come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad. 6Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
