Psalm 53

¹Fools say in their hearts, There’s no God.

They are corrupt and do horrible deeds;

²God looks down from heaven on humans

to see if anyone is wise,

³But all have turned away.

No one does good—

not even one person!

⁴Are they dumb—these evildoers—

⁵There, where there was nothing to fear,

they will be in utter panic

because God will scatter the bones

You will put them to shame

because God has rejected them.

⁶Let Israel’s salvation come out of Zion!

When God changes

his people’s circumstances for the better,
