The Fool Says, There is No God

1{52:1}Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his heart: There is no God. [2] They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.

2{52:3}God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.

3{52:4}All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.

4{52:5}Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?

5{52:6}They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

6{52:7}Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
