Psalms 53-54
There is no one who does good, not even one. (Psalm 53:3b) This verse is probably familiar to many of you. It is one of the most oft-cited verses used by many preachers when preaching a salvation message – except that they typically cite it as Romans 3:12 instead of Psalm 53:3b. I guess it’s more effective to cite a New Testament verse than the original Old Testament verse.
As with our reading yesterday, the heading for Psalm 54 also has an historical context. See I Samuel 23:19-24a. I love that the Bible often references itself.
