Psalms 53:2-6 Good News Bible (GNB)

2. God looks down from heaven at the human raceto see if there are any who are wise,any who worship him.

3. But they have all turned away;they are all equally bad.Not one of them does what is right,not a single one.

4. “Don't they know?” God asks.“Are these evildoers ignorant?They live by robbing my people,and they never pray to me.”

5. But then they will be terrified,as they have never been before,for God will scatter the bones of the enemies of his people.God has rejected them,and so Israel will totally defeat them.

6. How I pray that victorywill come to Israel from Zion.How happy the people of Israel will bewhen God makes them prosperous again!
