Ps 53:1
53:1 <> The fool hath said in his heart, [There
     is] {b} no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable
     iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.

     (a) Which was an instrument or king of note.
     (b) Whereas no regard is had for honesty or dishonesty, for
         virtue nor for vice, there the prophet pronounces that
         the people have no God.

Ps 53:2
53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
     see if there were [any] that did understand, that did {c}
     seek God.

     (c) By which he condemns all knowledge and understanding
         that tends not to seek God.

Ps 53:4
53:4 Have the {d} workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up
     my people [as] they eat bread: they have not called upon
     God.

     (d) David pronounces God's vengeance against cruel
         governors who having charge to defend and preserve
         God's people, cruelly devour them.

Ps 53:5
53:5 There were they in great fear, [where] no {e} fear was: for
     God hath scattered the {f} bones of him that encampeth
     [against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because God
     hath despised them.

     (e) When they thought there was no opportunity to fear, the
         sudden vengeance of God lighted on them.
     (f) No matter how great the enemies power is, or fearful
         the danger, yet God delivers his in due time.
