A Psalm of David, Machil, [a.k.a. Maskil,] to the chief Musician upon Mahalath. |
Psalm 53:1-6 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
In the heart [of] the fool, [he] has said, There is no God. They are corrupt & have done abominable [sins.] There are none [who do] good. [Romans 3:10-13 As it is written [in the scriptures,] There [are] none [who are] righteous, no, not one. |
There [are] none [who] understand & there [are] none [who] seek after God. They [have] all gone [astray from the path] & they have together become [without purpose.] |
There [are] none [who] do good, no, not one. Their throat is an open [tomb] & with their [mouths,] they have said [what is] deceit. The poison of [snakes] is under their lips.] |
God looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any [who] did understand & did seek God. Everyone of them [has gone astray.] Altogether, they [have] become filthy & there [are] none [who] do good, no, not one. Have [those who work sinfully,] no knowledge? |
[Those who] eat up My people, [like] they eat bread; they haven't called upon God. In great fear, they were there, where no fear [existed.] For God had scattered the bones of [those who] encamped against you. You [have] put them to shame, because God has despised them. |
[Leviticus 26: 27-30 And if you will not for all this, [pay attention] to Me, but [follow] contrary to Me; then I will walk contrary to you & also in fury. And I, even I, will chastise you 7 times for your sins. |
And you shall eat the flesh of your sons & daughters. And I will destroy your high places & cut down your images & cast your [corpses] upon the carcasses of your idols & My soul shall [loathe] you.] |
Oh, [if only] the Salvation of Israel [had] come out of Zion! When God brings back [those] of His [from] captivity, Jacob shall rejoice & Israel shall be glad. |
