Psalm 53 - American Standard Version 2015

¹ {\b For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David.}\par\par\tab The fool hath said in his heart,\par\tab There is no God.\par\tab Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity;\par\tab There is none that doeth good.

² God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,\par\tab To see if there were any that did understand,\par\tab That did seek after God.

³ Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy;\par\tab There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁴ Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,\par\tab Who eat up my people {\i as} they eat bread,\par\tab And call not upon God?

⁵ There were they in great fear, where no fear was;\par\tab For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee:\par\tab Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

⁶ Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!\par\tab When God bringeth back the captivity of his people,\par\tab Then shall Jacob rejoice, {\i and} Israel shall be glad.\par
