For the choirmaster. Of David.
The Fool Says There Is No God
Psalm 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17; Romans 3:9–20
1To the Overseer. --By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.+ 2Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one--seeking God.+ 3The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.+ 4Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.+ 5There they have feared a fear, For God is in the generation of the righteous.+ 6The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah is his refuge.+ 7`Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back To a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!+
