For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David.

[1] The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity.
There is no one who does good.
[2] God looks down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there are any who understood,
who seek after God.
[3] Every one of them has gone back.
They have become filthy together.
There is no one who does good, no, not one.
[4] Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and don’t call on God?
[5] There they were in great fear, where no fear was,
for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you.
You have put them to shame,
because God has rejected them.
[6] Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back his people from captivity,
then Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
King James Version

[1] The fool H5036 hath said H559 in his heart, H3820
There is no God. H430
Corrupt H7843 are they, and have done abominable H8581 iniquity: H5766
There is none that doeth H6213 good. H2896
[2] God H430 looked down H8259 from heaven H8064 upon H5921 the children H1121 of men, H120
To see H7200 if there were H3426 any that did understand, H7919 that did seek H1875 God. H430
[3] Every H3605 one of them is gone back: H5472 they are altogether H3162 become filthy; H444
There is none that doeth H6213 good, H2896 no, not one. H259
[4] Have the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 no knowledge? H3045

[5] There H8033 were they in great H6343 fear, H6342§ where no fear H6343 was:
For God H430 hath scattered H6340 the bones H6106 of him that encampeth H2583 against thee:
Thou hast put them to shame, H954
because H3588 God H430 hath despised H3988 them.
[6] Oh that H5414 the salvation H3444§ of Israel H3478 were come out of Zion! H6726
When God H430 bringeth back H7725 the captivity H7622 of his people, H5971
Jacob H3290 shall rejoice, H1523
And Israel H3478 shall be glad. H8055
