1To the Chief musician on Mahalath. A Contemplation; A Psalm of David. The foolish one has said in his heart, No God! They have done corruptly; they have acted abominably, doing iniquity; not one is doing good!
2God looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind, to see if there was any discerning, who was seeking God:
3All have turned away, altogether they are corrupted, not one is doing good, not even one!
4Have the doers of evil not known, eating up My people as they eat bread? They have not called on God.
5There they dreaded with dread, where no dread was; for God has scattered the bones of the one who besieges you; you have put them to shame because God rejects them.
6Who gives from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God brings back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice; Israel shall be glad.
