Psalm 53: complete, commentary


post-title

CommentPsalm 53 highlights what represents the guiding thought of the fool, that is, the conviction that God does not exist. The man who denies God is led to turn to idols and this makes him fall into dishonesty, gradually erasing what good God had put into him.


Psalm 53 complete

[1] To the choir master. On "Macalat". Maskil. Di Davide.

[2] The fool thinks: "God does not exist". They are corrupt, they do abominable things, nobody does good.


[3] God from heaven bends over the children of man to see if there is a wise man looking for God.

[4] All have led astray, all are corrupt; nobody does good; not even one.

[5] Do they not understand the evildoers who devour my people like bread and do not call on God?

[6] They trembled with fear, where there was no fear. God has scattered the bones of the attackers, they are confused because God has rejected them.

[7] Who will send Israel's salvation from Zion? When God brings back the deportees of his people, Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice.

The Astonishing Servant of Jehovah (Isaiah 53) (March 2024)
