Psalm 53:1-3
The Voice

Psalm 53

For the worship leader. A contemplative song[a] of David. A song for the dance.[b]

1 The foolish are convinced deep down that there is no God.
    Their souls are polluted, and they commit gross injustice.
    Not one of them does good.

2 From heaven the one True God examines the earth
    to see if any understand the big picture,
    if any seek to know the True God.

3 All have turned back to their wicked ways; they’ve become totally perverse.
    Not one of them does good,
    not even one.
