Psalms 53:5
There they are, overwhelmed with dread,
What it says
The wicked are suddenly overwhelmed with dread because God scatters and shames those who oppose his people.
What it is doing
This verse reveals divine reversal falling on confident oppressors.
In context
1For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. 2God looks down from heaven 3All have turned away, 4Will the workers of iniquity never learn? 5There they are, overwhelmed with dread, 6Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!
