Psalms 53 · Grade 3
Who Seeks God?
Read the Story
The title of Psalm 53 calls it a contemplation by David. It begins with a fool. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. People like this do evil things.
God looks down from heaven on the children of men. He looks to see if any understand and seek after God. Every one of them has gone back. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
The psalm ends with hope. David wishes that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God brings his people back, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
