Psalms 53 documents the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of those who say 'there is no God.' It articulates a divine perspective from heaven, where God looks down to find any who seek Him, only to find a world gripped by the fear of their own making.
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.
