The Psalms 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. |
