Psalm 53 ... Viewing the works of God through scripture

1 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.
