To the choirmaster: according to Machalat. A Maskil of David.

 1  The fool says in his heart, “There is no God. They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.”

2-4  God looks down from heaven on the children of man to see if there are any who are prudent [maskil ], who seek after God. ³ They are all fallen away [or “dross”]; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. ⁴ Have those who work evil no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?

סוג (sug)

5  There they were in great terror who had not known terror, for God scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

6  Oh, that salvations for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
