Psalm 53. Dixit insipiens.
THE foolish body hath said in his heart, * There is no God.
2 Corrupt are they, and become abominable in their wickedness;
* there is none that doeth good.
3 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to
see if there were any that would understand, and seek after God.
4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become
abominable; * there is also none that doeth good, no not one.
5 Are not they without understanding that work wickedness, *
eating up my people as if they would eat bread? they have not
called upon God.
6 They were afraid where no fear was; * for God hath broken the
bones of him that besieged thee; thou hast put them to confusion,
because God hath despised them.
7 O that the salvation were given unto Israel out of Sion! *
O that the Lord would deliver his people out of captivity!
8 Then should Jacob rejoice, * and Israel should be right glad.
