Psalm 53:3 NIV
Everyone has turned away
they have together become corrupt;
there is no-one who does good, not even one.
In those areas where greed and violence reign,
it is not safe for the innocent to walk the streets.
Where national leaders are corrupt and local leaders are corrupt
there is no justice for the innocent nor for the man in the street.
The psalmist is pointing out that when people banish God from
their thinking, they are lead to exploit their neighbours .
In our generation men have turned away from God
and allowed injustice to become law.......
but the God of the poor is not mocked.
