To the chief Musician upon Mahalath
, Maschil
, A Psalm of David
. The fool
hath said
in his heart
, There is no God
. Corrupt
are they, and have done abominable
iniquity
: there is none that doeth
good
.
God looked down
from heaven
upon the children
of men
, to see
if there were
any that did understand
, that did seek
God
.
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether
become filthy
; there is none that doeth
good
, no, not one
.
Have the workers of iniquity
no knowledge
? who eat up
my people
as they eat
bread
: they have not called
upon God
.
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
hath despised
them.
Oh that the salvation
of Israel
were come out of Zion
! When God
bringeth back
the captivity
of his people
, Jacob
shall rejoice
, and Israel
shall be glad
.
