[ Read](/kjv/psalms/53)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/53)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/53) Audio

 1 The fool hath said in his heart, *There is* no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: *there is* none that doeth good.*

 2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were *any* that did understand, that did seek God.

 3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; *there is* none that doeth good, no, not one.

 4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people *as* they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

 5 There were they in great fear, *where* no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth *against* thee: thou hast put *them* to shame, because God hath despised them.*

 6 Oh that the salvation of Israel *were come* out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, *and* Israel shall be glad.*
 
[Psalms 52](/study/psalms/52) [Psalms 54](/study/psalms/54)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
53:1 [To the chief Musician upon {a} Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David.] The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] {b} no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good. 

(a) Which was an instrument or king of note. 

(b) Whereas no regard is had for honesty or dishonesty, for virtue nor for vice, there the prophet pronounces that the people have no God.
