Psalm
53 Tuesday Midday 2
The
fool thinks in his heart, * “God is not present.”
They
are corrupt and do terrible things; * no one does good.
God looks down from heaven * on all mankind,
to see if any are wise, * if any seek God.
But they all have turned bad, * and are
equally bad.
No one does good, * not a single one.
Don't all evildoers know * that those
who rob his people
are eating the grain of God, * which
they did not harvest.
See how they marshaled their troops, * but
the siege did not last,
because
God scattered wide * your besiegers' bones.
You were
dismayed * till God gathered them in death.
From
Zion who will bring * salvation to Israel?
When
God restores * his people's fortune,
let
Jacob rejoice * and Israel be glad.
