1 To the Overseer. -- 'On a disease.' -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

2 God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, One seeking God.

3 Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one.

4 Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

5 There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

6 Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back to a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
