PSALM Fifty Three

For the director of music. 

According to mahalath. A maskil of David.

 

1 

The fool says in his heart,

    ‘There is no God.’

They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;

    there is no one who does good.

2 

God looks down from heaven

    on all mankind

to see if there are any who understand,

    any who seek God.

3 

Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;

    there is no one who does good,

    not even one.

4 

Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;

    they never call on God.

5 

But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,

    where there was nothing to dread.

God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;

    you put them to shame, for God despised them.

6 

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

    When God restores his people,

    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

PSALM Fifty Two

For the director of music. A maskil of David. 

When Doeg  the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: ‘David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.’

1 

Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?

    Why do you boast all day long,

    you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?

2 

You who practise deceit,

    your tongue plots destruction;

    it is like a sharpened razor.

3 

You love evil rather than good,

    falsehood rather than speaking the truth.

4 

You love every harmful word,

    you deceitful tongue!

5 

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:

    he will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;

    he will uproot you from the land of the living.

6 

The righteous will see and fear;

    they will laugh at you, saying,

7 

‘Here now is the man

    who did not make God his stronghold

but trusted in his great wealth

    and grew strong by destroying others!’

8 

But I am like an olive tree

    flourishing in the house of God;

I trust in God’s unfailing love

    for ever and ever.

9 

For what you have done I will always praise you

    in the presence of your faithful people.

And I will hope in your name,

    for your name is good.
