For the director of music. According to mahalath.
A maskil of David
1
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt,
and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
2
God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see
if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3
Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good, not even one.
4
Will the evildoers never harm - those who devour my people
as men eat bread and who do not call on God?
5
THere they were, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6
Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
