5 God shall likewise destroy thee forever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him.

7 Lo, the man who made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

9 I will praise thee forever, because thou hast done wonderful works; I will wait on thy name; for thou art good before thy saints.

Psalms 53
Intro: The corruption of natural man. To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.)

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Such are corrupt, and they have done abominable iniquity. There is none that doeth good.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3 Every one of them is gone back; they are altogether become filthy.

4 The workers of iniquity have no knowledge; they eat up my people as they eat bread; they have not called upon God.

5 There is none that doeth good, no not one. They were in great fear, for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against him.
