53 - Dixit insipiens

1   The fool has said in his heart, 🞙
    “There is no God.”

2   They are corrupt and have become abominable in their wickedness; 🞙
    there is none that does good.

3   God looked down from heaven upon the children of men 🞙
    to see if there were any who would understand and seek after God.

4   But they have all gone astray; they have altogether become abominable; 🞙
    there is none that does good, no, not one.

5   Have they no knowledge, all the workers of evil 🞙
    who eat up my people as they would eat bread, and call not upon God? 

6   They were afraid where no fear was, 🞙
    for God has broken the bones of those who besieged you; 

7   You have put them to shame, 🞙
    because God has rejected them.

8   Oh, that salvation were given unto Israel out of Zion! 🞙
    Oh, that God would deliver his people out of captivity!

9   Then shall Jacob rejoice, 🞙
    and Israel shall be glad.
