53 1 The fool says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none that does good.
53 2 God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men
to see if there are any that are wise, that seek after God.
53 3 They have all fallen away; they are all alike depraved;
there is none that does good, no, not one.
53 4 Have those who work evil no understanding,
who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?
53 5 There they are, in great terror, in terror such as has not been!
For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly;
they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them.
53 6 O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad.
