1 For the music director: on Mahalath, a contemplative song of David.
2 The fool says in his heart: “There is no God.” They are corrupt, commit vile injustice. There is no one who does good.
3 God looks down from the heavens on the children of men, to see if anyone understands, who seeks after God.
4 All have turned aside— together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good— no, not even one!
5 Will the evildoers never learn? They consume My people as they would eat bread, and never call upon God.
6 There they are in great dread— where there is nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those besieging you. You have put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
7 Who will give salvation for Israel out of Zion? When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
