Psalm 53-54
English Standard Version
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.
4 Have those who work evil no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not call upon God?
5 There they are, in great terror,
(C)where there is no terror!
For God (D)scatters the bones of him who encamps against you;
you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
The Lord Upholds My Life
To the choirmaster: with (E)stringed instruments. A Maskil[c] of David, (F)when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”
54 O God, save me by your (G)name,
and vindicate me by your might.
2 O God, (H)hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 (I)For (J)strangers[d] have risen against me;
ruthless men (K)seek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah
4 Behold, (L)God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5 He will return the evil to my enemies;
in your (M)faithfulness (N)put an end to them.
6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, (O)for it is good.
7 For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has (P)looked in triumph on my enemies.
