Verse 1

To the chief Musician{H5329}{H8764)} upon Mahalath{H4257}, Maschil{H4905}{H8688)}, A Psalm of David{H1732}. The fool{H5036} hath said{H559}{H8804)} in his heart{H3820}, There is no God{H430}. Corrupt{H7843}{H8689)} are they, and have done abominable{H8581}{H8689)} iniquity{H5766}: there is none that doeth{H6213}{H8802)} good{H2896}.

Verse 2

God{H430} looked down{H8259}{H8689)} from heaven{H8064} upon the children{H1121} of men{H120}, to see{H7200}{H8800)} if there were{H3426} any that did understand{H7919}{H8688)}, that did seek{H1875}{H8802)} God{H430}.

Verse 3

Every one of them is gone back{H5472}{H8804)}: they are altogether{H3162} become filthy{H444}{H8738)}; there is none that doeth{H6213}{H8802)} good{H2896}, no, not one{H259}.

Verse 4

Have the workers{H6466}{H8802)} of iniquity{H205} no knowledge{H3045}{H8804)}? who eat up{H398}{H8802)} my people{H5971} as they eat{H398}{H8804)} bread{H3899}: they have not called{H7121}{H8804)} upon God{H430}.

Verse 5

There were they in great{H6343} fear{H6342}{H8804)}, where no fear{H6343} was: for God{H430} hath scattered{H6340}{H8765)} the bones{H6106} of him that encampeth{H2583}{H8802)} against thee: thou hast put them to shame{H954}{H8689)}, because God{H430} hath despised{H3988}{H8804)} them.

Verse 6

Oh that{H5414}{H8799)} the salvation{H3444} of Israel{H3478} were come out of Zion{H6726}! When God{H430} bringeth back{H7725}{H8800)} the captivity{H7622} of his people{H5971}, Jacob{H3290} shall rejoice{H1523}{H8799)}, and Israel{H3478} shall be glad{H8055}{H8799)}.
