To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1 The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no
_God_Jehovah. 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_Jehovah.
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_Jehovah.
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_Jehovah hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel
were come out of Zion! When
_God_Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
