To the one who conducts, upon Mahalath. A Maskil of David.1The foolish one has said in his heart, "There is no God." They have ruined and abhorred injustice; there is none who does good.2God looked down from heaven upon the children of man to see if there is anyone prudent who seeks God.3They have all turned aside together; they have become corrupt. There is none who does good, not even one.4Have the workers of wickedness not understood? They devour my people as they eat bread and do not call upon God.5There they were in dread where no dread had been, for God scattered the bones of your camp. You put them to shame, for God rejected them.6Oh, that salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the captivity of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will rejoice.
