psalm

To the Overcomer upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.

¶ The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one that does good.

God looked down from heaven upon the sons of Adam 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 no one that does 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.

They were there in great fear where no fear was; for God has scattered the bones of him that encamps against thee: thou hast put them to shame because God has despised them.

Oh that the saving health of Israel were come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
