[00:00:04] Psalm 53 To the Chief Musician In a Mournful Strain A Skillful Song or Didactic or Reflective Poem of David The empty-headed fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt and evil and have committed repulsive injustice. There is no one who does good.
[00:00:32] God has looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there is anyone who understands, who seeks after God, who requires Him, who longs for Him as essential to life. Every one of them has turned aside and fallen away. Together they have become filthy and corrupt. There is no one who does good. No, not even one.
[00:01:02] Have workers of wickedness no knowledge or no understanding? They eat up my people as though they ate bread and have not called upon God. There they were in great terror and dread, where there had been no terror or dread. For God scattered the bones of Him who besieged you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
[00:01:32] Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God restores the fortunes of His people, let Jacob rejoice. Let Israel be glad. Thank you for tuning in to The Audio Bible Podcast today. This has been Psalm chapter 53 from the Word of God.
