| 53:1 | To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, of David. The fool hath said in his heart, no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: none that doeth good. | |
| 53:2 | God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were that did understand, that did seek God. | |
| 53:3 | Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; none that doeth good, no, not one. | |
| 53:4 | Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people they eat bread! they have not called upon God. | |
| 53:5 | There they were in great fear, no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth thee: thou hast put to shame, because God hath despised them. | |
