To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1
The fool hath said in his heart,There is no God.Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:There is none that doeth good.
2
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,To see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy;There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?Who eat up my people as they eat bread: They have not called upon God.
5
There were they in great fear, where no fear was:For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee:Thou hast put them to shame,because God hath despised them.
6
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!When God bringeth back the captivity of his people,Jacob shall rejoice,And Israel shall be glad.
