Psalms 52

¹Unto the end, for Mæleth, understandings of David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God.

²They are corrupt, and become abominable in iniquities: there is not that doth good.

³God hath looked forth from heaven, upon the children of men: to see if there be that understandeth, or seeketh after God.

⁴All have declined, they are become unprofitable together: there is not that doth good, no there is not one.

⁵Shall they not all know that work iniquity, that devour my people as food of bread?

⁶God they have not invocated: there have they trembled for fear, where no fear was. Because God hath dissipated the bones of them that please men: they are confounded, because God hath despised them.

⁷Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? When God shall convert the captivity of his people: Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
