53:1 To the leader: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. Fools say in their hearts, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they commit abominable acts; there is no one who does good.
53:2 God looks down from heaven on humankind to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.
53:3 They have all fallen away, they are all alike perverse; there is no one who does good, no, not one.
53:4 Have they no knowledge, those evildoers, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?
53:5 There they shall be in great terror, in terror such as has not been. For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly; they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them.
53:6 O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
