Psalm 53:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Psalm 53

Denunciation of Godlessness

To the leader: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

¹Fools say in their hearts, ‘There is no God.’
They are corrupt, they commit abominable acts;
there is no one who does good.

²God looks down from heaven on humankind
to see if there are any who are wise,
who seek after God.

³They have all fallen away, they are all alike perverse;
there is no one who does good,
no, not one.
