God looks down from heaven
    on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,[a]
    who seek after God.

They have all fallen away;
    together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
    not even one.

Have those who work evil no knowledge,
    who eat up my people as they eat bread,
    and do not call upon God?

  1. Psalm 53:2 Or who act wisely

God looks down from heaven(A)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(B)
    any who seek God.(C)
Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
    there is no one who does good,
    not even one.(D)

Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;
    they never call on God.
