CHAP. LIII.

1 Dauid describeth the corruption of a naturall man. 4 He conuinceth the wicked by the light of their owne conscience. 6 Hee glorieth in the saluation of God.

¹ [To the chiefe musician vpon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalme of Dauid.] The foole hath sayde in his heart, There is no god; Corrupt are they, and haue done abhominable iniquitie; there is none that doth good.¹

² God looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that did vnderstand, that did seeke God.

³ Euery one of them is gone backe, they are altogether become filthy: there is none that doth good, no not one.

⁴ Haue the workers of iniquitie no knowledge? who eate vp my people, as they eate bread; they haue not called vpon God.

⁵ There were they in great feare, where no feare was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that incampeth against thee, thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.⁵

⁶ O that the saluation of Israel were come out of Sion! when God bringeth backe the captiuitie of his people, Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shall be glad.⁶
