Folly and Wickedness of Men.

For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
          They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
          There is no one who does good.

2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
          To see if there is anyone who understands,
          Who seeks after God.

3 Every 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 no knowledge,
          Who eat up My people as though they ate bread
          And have not called upon God?

5 There they were in great fear where no fear had been;
          For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you;
          You put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
          When God restores His captive people,
          Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
