53:1-6, Cf. To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David.
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. 68:23
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David.
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
The fool says there is no God. [1]
They are all corrupt and do abominable things.
None of them does anything good. [2]
3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
They are all filthy.
They don't do anything good.
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
