Chapter 53 God speaks once, yea, twice, and it were well if man would even then perceive it; God, in this psalm, speaks twice, for this is the same almost verbatim with the fourteenth psalm. Psalm 53: This psalm (is a copy of Psalm 14), slightly revised. Two major differences are apparent: this psalm substitutes the generic word for God, Elohim, for the personal name of God used in Psalm 14, Yahweh. This was done evidently to give the psalm a wider appeal.
{Psalm 53:1-6}
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Father God, I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory for reaching down to me and making Yourself known to me in so many awesome ways. I am believing that Your Holy Spirit would convict the hearts of many ‘fools’ who have said in their heart: ‘there is no God’ – and bring many to faith throiugh Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. So we all can be with You in eternity with no one left behind. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
