Psalm 53

Psalm 53[a]

For the director of music. According to mahalath.[b] A maskil[c] of David.

1 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.

2 God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. 3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.
