53:1 To the director: Use the mahalath. A maskil of David. Only fools think there is no God. People like that are evil and do terrible things. They never do what is right.
53:2 God looks down from heaven to see if there is anyone who is wise, anyone who looks to him for help.
53:3 But everyone has turned away from him. Everyone has become evil. No one does anything good. No, not one person!
53:4 Those who are evil treat my people like bread to be eaten. And they never ask for God’s help. Don’t they understand what they are doing?
53:5 They will be filled with fear— a fear like they have never felt before! People of Israel, you will defeat those who attacked you, because God has rejected them. And he will scatter their bones.
53:6 I wish the one who lives on Mount Zion would bring victory to Israel! When God makes Israel successful again, the people of Jacob will be very happy; the people of Israel will be glad.
