PSALM 53
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil,
A Psalm of David.
1That there is not a God, the fool
doth in his heart conclude:
They are corrupt, their works are vile,
not one of them doth good.
2The Lord upon the sons of men
from heav'n did cast his eyes,
To see if any one there was
that sought God, and was wise.
3They altogether filthy are,
they all are backward gone;
And there is none that doeth good,
no, not so much as one.
4These workers of iniquity,
do they not know at all,
That they my people eat as bread,
and on God do not call?
5Ev'n there they were afraid, and stood
with trembling, all dismay'd,
Whereas there was no cause at all
why they should be afraid:
For God his bones that thee besieg'd
hath scatter'd all abroad;
Thou hast confounded them, for they
despised are of God.
6Let Isr'el's help from Sion come:
when back the Lord shall bring
His captives, Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall sing.

Psalms 53

PSALM 53.
1Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.
2When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?#1 Kings 23.19.
3Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
4O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
5For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
6For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
7Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
8I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
9For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
