1To the Chief Musician on Mahalath. A contemplation. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, [There is] no God. They acted corruptly, and have worked out abominable wickedness; [there is] not one doing good. 2God looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind to see if [any] was discerning, who was seeking God. 3Every one has turned away; they have altogether become filthy; not one is doing good, no, not even one. 4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? They eat 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 him who camps against you; you have put [them] to shame because God rejects them. 6Who will give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God brings back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
