ULT by section PSA 53:1

Psalm 53

For the chief musician. A maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

 Why are you proud of making trouble, you mighty man?

The covenant faithfulness of God comes every day.

2 Your tongue plans destruction

like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 You love evil more than good

and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah

4 You love all words that devour others,

you deceitful tongue.

5 God will likewise destroy you forever;

he will take you up and pluck you out of your tent

and root you out of the land of the living. Selah

6 The righteous will also see it and fear;

they will laugh at him and say,

7 “See, this is a man who did not make God his refuge,

but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth,

and he was strong when he destroyed others.”

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house;

I will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God forever and ever.

9 I will give you thanks forever for what you have done.

I will wait for your name, because it is good,

in the presence of your faithful ones.

For the chief musician; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David.

 A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity;

there is no one who does good.

2 God looks down from heaven on the children of mankind

to see if there are any who understand,

who seek after him.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt.

There is not one who does good, not even one.

4 Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding—

those who devour my people as if they were eating bread

and they do not call on God?

5 They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there;

for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you;

such people will be put to shame because God has rejected them.

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!

When God brings back his people from the captivity,

then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!
