Psalms 53:1


← Psalms 52:9 Psalms 53:1 (KJV) Psalms 53:2 →
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
