What does Psalm 53:6 mean?

In this verse David's thoughts turn from the negative to the positive. After writing about the judgment of the wicked, he expresses his hope for Israel's salvation. The Bible teaches that God will restore the kingdom to Israel after purging the nation in the tribulation period.

Zechariah 12:7 says the Lord will give salvation to Judah. Verse 10 prophesies that the Jews will receive "a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy" so that they will look on "him whom they have pierced" and repent. Zechariah 13:1 predicts there will be a fountain of cleansing opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Zechariah 13:9 prophesies that God will judge the nation, and two thirds of the people will perish; however, one third will survive. According to Zechariah chapter 14, Jesus will return to the Mount of Olives and establish His kingdom at that time. Verse 9 says, "And the LORD will be king over all the earth."

What David prays in this verse will, one day, come to pass. Salvation will come to Israel and the nation will rejoice.
