A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back `to' the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers. Then filled `with' laughter is our mouth, And our tongue `with' singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.' Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful. Turn again, O Jehovah, `to' our captivity, As streams in the south.

Commentary on Psalms 53 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 53
Ps 53:1-6. Upon Mahalath—(See on Ps 88:1, title). Why this repetition of the fourteenth Psalm is given we do not know.
1-4. with few verbal changes, correspond with Ps 14:1-4.
5. Instead of assurances of God's presence with the pious, and a complaint of the wicked, Ps 14:5, 6 portrays the ruin of the latter, whose "bones" even "are scattered" (compare Ps 141:7), and who are put to shame as contemptuously rejected of God.
