Psalm 53:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 Will evildoers never understand?
They consume my people as they consume bread;(A)
they do not call on God.(B)
5 Then they will be filled with dread—
dread like no other(C)—
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.(D)
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.(E)
6 Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,[a]
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.(F)

Psalm 53:4-6
New International Version
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on God.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.(A)
God scattered the bones(B) of those who attacked you;(C)
you put them to shame,(D) for God despised them.(E)
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
