Psalm 53:4-6
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
4 Will evildoers never understand?
They consume my people as they consume bread;(A)
they do not call on God.(B)

dread like no other(C) –
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.(D)
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.(E)

When God restores the fortunes of his people,[a]
