53 The
fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have
done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. 2 God
looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were
any that did understand, that did seek God. 3 Every
one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers
of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have
not called upon God. 5 There
were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones
of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because
God hath despised them. 6 Oh that
the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the
captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
