Folly and Wickedness of Men.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
1 The fool has asaid in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable 1deeds;
There is bno one who does good.
2 The Lord has alooked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who 1bunderstand,
Who cseek after God.
3 They have all aturned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is bno one who does good, not even one.
4 Do all the workers of wickedness anot know,
Who beat up my people as they eat bread,
And cdo not call upon the Lord?
5 There they are in great dread,
For God is with the arighteous generation.
6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the Lord is his arefuge.
7 Oh, that athe salvation of Israel 1would come out of Zion!
When the Lord 2brestores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
