Literal Standard Version

Psalms • Chapter 53

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “ON A DISEASE.” AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A fool said in his heart, “There is no God (Elohim).” They have done corruptly, || Indeed, they have done abominable iniquity, || There is none doing good. 2 God (Elohim) looked on the sons of men from the heavens, || To see if there is an understanding one, || One seeking God (Elohim). 3 Everyone went back, together they became filthy, || There is none doing good—not even one. 4 Workers of iniquity have not known, || Those eating my people have eaten bread, || They have not called God (Elohim). 5 There they feared a fear—there was no fear, || For God (Elohim) has scattered the bones of him || Who is encamping against you, || You have put to shame, || For God (Elohim) has despised them. 6 Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God (Elohim) turns back to a captivity of His people, || Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
