Psalm 53 - Evangelical Heritage Version - 2021（EHV）

The FoolFor the choir director. According to mahalath. A maskil by David.A Description of the Fool

1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt. They commit horrible evil.

There is no one who does good.

2God looks down from heaven on all the children of Adam

to see if there is anyone who understands,

anyone who seeks God.

3Every single one has turned back.

Altogether they have become rotten.

There is no one who does good.

There is not even one.

The Final Fate of the Fool

4Don't they know, all those evildoers,

who devour my people as if they were eating bread?

They do not call on God.

5There they are, terrified, where there was nothing to fear.

For God scattered the bones of those who camped against you.

You put them to shame, because God despised them.

Closing Prayer

6Who will provide salvation for Israel from Zion?

When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
