Psalm 53
ESV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionInternational Standard Version
1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.1Fools say to themselves "There is no God." They are corrupt and commit iniquity; not one of them practices what is good.
2God looks down from heaven on the children of man to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.2God looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God.
3They have all fallen away; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.3All of them have fallen away; together they have become corrupt; no one does what is good, not even one.
4Have those who work evil no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?4Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on God.
5There they are, in great terror, where there is no terror! For God scatters the bones of him who encamps against you; you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.5There the Israelis were seized with terror, when there was nothing to fear. For God scattered the bones of those who laid siege against you — you put them to shame, for God rejected them.
6Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.6Would that Israel's deliverance come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad.
