Psalm 53:4-6

New King James Version

⁴Have the workers of iniquity ^(A)no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?
⁵^(B)There they are 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 despised them.

⁶^(C)Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back ^[a]the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
