Psalms 53 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

No one can ignore God

(A special psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune “Mahalath”.)

1. Only a fool would say,“There is no God!”People like that are worthless!They are heartless and crueland never do right.

2. From heaven Godlooks down to seeif anyone is wise enoughto search for him.

3. But all of themare crooked and corrupt.Not one of them does right.

4. Won't you lawbreakers learn?You refuse to pray,and you gobble upthe people of God.

5. But you will be more terrifiedthan ever before.God will scatter the bonesof his enemies,and you will be ashamedwhen God rejects you.

6. I long for someone from Zionto come and save Israel!Our God, when you blessyour people again,Jacob's family will be glad,and Israel will celebrate.
