Psalms 53 YLT
Summary: A near-duplicate of Psalm 14 with minor textual variation (using "Elohim" for God throughout rather than the personal divine name, and altering the final verses), Psalm 53 repeats the indictment that "the fool says in his heart, There is no God" and that all have "fallen away" and become corrupt (v. 1, 3). Its recurrence within the Psalter, in nearly identical form within a different collection, illustrates how these poems circulated and were reused liturgically. It closes, like its twin, longing for salvation to come out of Zion and for God to restore the fortunes of his people (v. 6).
1To the Overseer. --`On a disease.' --An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
2God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, One seeking God.
3Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good--not even one.
4Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
5There they feared a fear--there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
6Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back to a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!
