and with their ears (A)they can barely hear,
and (B)their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and (C)understand with their heart
and (D)turn, and I would heal them.’
Psalm 53:1-3

There Is None Who Does Good
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Mahalath. A Maskil[a] of David.
53 (B)The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,[b]
who seek after God.
3 They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
