There Is No One Who Does Good

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

They act corruptly, and commit abominable injustice;

There is no one who does good.

²God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men

To see if there is anyone who has insight,

Anyone who seeks after God.

³Every one of them has turned back; together they have become worthless;[#53:3 Or corrupt]

There is no one who does good, not even one.

⁴¶Do the workers of iniquity not know,

Who eat up my people as they eat bread

And do not call upon God?

⁵There they were in great dread where no dread had been;

For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you;

You put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

⁶Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion![#53:6 Lit would be]

When God restores His captive people,

May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
