Folly of the Godless, and God’s Final Triumph
To the Chief Musician.
A
Psalm
of David.
1 Thefool has said in his heart,
“Thereisno God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
2 TheLordlooks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
Thereisnone who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my peopleasthey eat bread,
# Anddo not call on theLord?
5 There they are in great fear,
For Godiswith the generation of the righteous.
6 You shame the counsel of the poor,
# But theLordishisrefuge.
7 Oh, that the salvation of Israelwouldcomeout of Zion!
# When theLordbrings back the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoiceandIsrael be glad.
