| Chapter 53 |
1 |
To the Overseer. -- `On a disease.` -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.` They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good. |
2 |
God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, One seeking God. |
3 |
Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one. |
4 |
Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called. |
5 |
There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them. |
6 |
Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back to a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad! |
