| Chapter 52 |
1 | Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his hear t: There is no God. |
2 | They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good. |
3 | God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God. |
4 | All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one. |
5 | Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread? |
6 | They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them. |
7 | Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. |
