Psalms 53

To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.

1The fool hath said in his heart, <add>There is</add> no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: <add>there is</add> none that doeth good.

2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were <add>any</add> that did understand, that did seek God.

3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; <add>there is</add> none that doeth good, no, not one.

4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people <add>as</add> they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

5There were they in great fear, <add>where</add> no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth <add>against</add> thee: thou hast put <add>them</add> to shame, because God hath despised them.

6Oh that the salvation of Israel <add>were come</add> out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, <add>and</add> Israel shall be glad.
