53:1 1 He describeth the crooked nature. 4 The cruelty, 5 And punishment of the wicked, when they look not for it, 6 And desireth the deliverance of the godly, that they may rejoice together. To him that excelleth on Mahalath. A Psalm of David to give instruction. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God, they have corrupted and done abominable wickedness, there is none that doeth good.
53:5 There they were afraid for fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that besieged thee: thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath cast them off.
53:6 Oh give salvation unto Israel out of Zion: when God turneth the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
