For the music director; according to the machalath style; a well-written song by David.
53:1 Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.”
They sin and commit evil deeds;
none of them does what is right.
53:2 God looks down from heaven at the human race,
to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.
53:3 Everyone rejects God;
they are all morally corrupt.
None of them does what is right,
not even one!
