53:1  (A special psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune “Mahalath.”) Only a fool would say, “There is no God!” People like that are worthless! They are heartless and cruel and never do right.
53:2  From heaven God looks down to see if anyone is wise enough to search for him.
53:3  But all of them are crooked and corrupt. Not one of them does right.
53:4  Won't you lawbreakers learn? You refuse to pray, and you gobble up the people of God.
53:5  But you will be terrified worse than ever before. God will scatter the bones of his enemies, and you will be ashamed when God rejects you.
53:6  I long for someone from Zion to come and save Israel! Our God, when you bless your people again, Jacob's family will be glad, and Israel will celebrate.
