• Psalm 53:superscription-6
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

    • To the director; in the style of Maʹha·lath.* Masʹkil.* Of David.

      53 The foolish* one says in his heart:

      “There is no Jehovah.”+

      Their unrighteous actions are corrupt and detestable;

      No one is doing good.+

       2 But God looks down from heaven on the sons of men+

      To see whether anyone has insight, whether anyone is seeking Jehovah.+

       3 They have all turned away;

      They are all alike corrupt.

      No one is doing good,

      Not even one.+

       4 Do none of the wrongdoers understand?

      They devour my people as if they were eating bread.

      They do not call on Jehovah.+

       5 But they will be filled with great terror,

      Terror they have never felt before,*

      For God will scatter the bones of those attacking you.*

      You will put them to shame, for Jehovah has rejected them.

       6 O that Israel’s salvation may come from Zion!+

      When Jehovah gathers back his captive people,

      Let Jacob be joyful, let Israel rejoice.
