Psalm 53 (WEBP)
[1] The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
[2] God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
[3] Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
[4] Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?
[5] There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
[6] Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm 53 (KJVS)
[1] «To the chief Musician H5329 (8764) upon Mahalath H4257, Maschil H4905 (8688), [A Psalm] of David H1732.» The fool H5036 hath said H559 (8804) in his heart H3820, [There is] no God H430. Corrupt H7843 (8689) are they, and have done abominable H8581 (8689) iniquity H5766: [there is] none that doeth H6213 (8802) good H2896.
[2] God H430 looked down H8259 (8689) from heaven H8064 upon the children H1121 of men H120, to see H7200 (8800) if there were H3426 [any] that did understand H7919 (8688), that did seek H1875 (8802) God H430.
[3] Every one of them is gone back H5472 (8804): they are altogether H3162 become filthy H444 (8738); [there is] none that doeth H6213 (8802) good H2896, no, not one H259.
[4] Have the workers H6466 (8802) of iniquity H205 no knowledge H3045 (8804)? who eat up H398 (8802) my people H5971 [as] they eat H398 (8804) bread H3899: they have not called H7121 (8804) upon God H430.
[5] There were they in great H6343 fear H6342 (8804), [where] no fear H6343 was: for God H430 hath scattered H6340 (8765) the bones H6106 of him that encampeth H2583 (8802) [against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame H954 (8689), because God H430 hath despised H3988 (8804) them.
[6] Oh that H5414 (8799) the salvation H3444 of Israel H3478 [were come] out of Zion H6726! When God H430 bringeth back H7725 (8800) the captivity H7622 of his people H5971, Jacob H3290 shall rejoice H1523 (8799), [and] Israel H3478 shall be glad H8055 (8799).
Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 53 (YLT)
[1] A fool said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
[2] God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, One seeking God.
[3] Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good-not even one.
[4] Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
[5] There they feared a fear-there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
[6] Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back to a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice-Israel is glad!
