1TO THE OVERSEER. “ON A DISEASE.” AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A fool said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have done corruptly, "" Indeed, they have done abominable iniquity, "" There is none doing good.

2God looked on the sons of men from the heavens, "" To see if there is an understanding one, "" [One] seeking God.

3Everyone went back, together they became filthy, "" There is none doing good—not even one.

4Workers of iniquity have not known, "" Those eating my people have eaten bread, "" They have not called God.

5There they feared a fear—there was no fear, "" For God has scattered the bones of him "" Who is encamping against you, "" You have put to shame, "" For God has despised them.

6Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, "" Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
