Psalms 53 — The Fool Hath Said In His Heart, There Is No God

Summary

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand. Every one of them is gone back. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice.

Key verse

“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.”

— Psalm 53:1

Outline
  1. v.1-3 No one understands
  2. v.4-6 Salvation from Zion
Verse-by-verse
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

God's survey. The seeking heart is what He looks for. Did understand, did seek — the two verbs run together.

The verse exposes the lie that nobody is looking. God is looking; the question is whether He finds anyone looking back.

Application

Verse 2 reverses the search. God is looking for the seeker. Be the one He finds looking back today.

Christ in this chapter

The salvation from Zion (v.6) is Christ. The God who looked down sent His Son to find the lost.
