The Bible in Living English
Psalm 53:1-6

Psalms

(Of the Director; to “Mahalath”; meditative, of David’s.)

53 A rascal has said to himself

“There is no God.”

They behave viciously, abominably;

there is nobody that does what is good.

2 God looked from the heavens upon mankind

to see if there was a canny man,

one that looked to God:

3 The whole lot had drawn off together, had degenerated,

there was nobody that did what was good, not a single one.

4 Do all who perpetrate villainy not know?

those who eat up my people eat bread, never call on God,—

5 There they are seized with terror,

because God breaks up an ungodly man’s plan;

You shall put them to shame,

because God has repudiated them.

6 O for Israel’s salvation coming from Sion!

When God comes back to his people

Jacob will jubilate, Israel make merry.
