Folly and Wickedness of Men.
For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.
aThe fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
bThere is no one who does good.
2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is aanyone who understands,
Who bseeks after God.
3 aEvery one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
4 Have the workers of wickedness ano knowledge,
Who eat up My people as though they ate bread
And have not called upon God?
5 There they were in great fear awhere no fear had been;
For God bscattered the bones of him who encamped against you;
You cput them to shame, because dGod had rejected them.
6 Oh, that athe salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores His captive people,
Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
