CHAPTER 53
For the choirmaster.
According to
Mahalath.
A Maskil
of David.
The fool
says
in his heart,
“There is no
God.”
They are corrupt;
their ways
are vile.
There is no
one who does
good.
All
have turned away,
they have together
become corrupt;
there is no
one who does
good,
not
even
one.
Will the workers
of iniquity
never
learn?
They devour
my people
like
bread;
they refuse
to call upon
the LORD.
There they are,
overwhelmed
with dread,
where there was
nothing
to fear.
For
God
has scattered
the bones
of those who besieged you.
You will put them to shame,
for
God
has despised them.
Oh, that
the salvation
of Israel
would come
from Zion!
When God
restores
His Captive
people,
let Jacob
rejoice,
let Israel
be glad!
