Text -- Psalms 53:3-6 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
53:3 Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt . None of them does what is right , not even one !
53:4 All those who behave wickedly do not understand – those who devour my people as if they were eating bread , and do not call out to God .
53:5 They are absolutely terrified , even by things that do not normally cause fear . For God annihilates those who attack you. You are able to humiliate them because God has rejected them.
53:6 I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion ! When God restores the well-being of his people , may Jacob rejoice , may Israel be happy !
