1 To the chief Musician * h5329 h8764 upon Mahalath * h4257, Maschil * h4905 h8688, A Psalm of David * h1732. The fool * h5036 hath said * h559 h8804 in his heart * h3820, There is no God * h430. Corrupt * h7843 h8689 are they, and have done abominable * h8581 h8689 iniquity * h5766: there is none that doeth * h6213 h8802 good * h2896. Maschil: or, of instruction
2 God * h430 looked down * h8259 h8689 from heaven * h8064 upon the children * h1121 of men * h120, to see * h7200 h8800 if there were * h3426 any that did understand * h7919 h8688, that did seek * h1875 h8802 God * h430.
3 Every one of them is gone back * h5472 h8804: they are altogether * h3162 become filthy * h444 h8738; there is none that doeth * h6213 h8802 good * h2896, no, not one * h259.
4 Have the workers * h6466 h8802 of iniquity * h205 no knowledge * h3045 h8804? who eat up * h398 h8802 my people * h5971 as they eat * h398 h8804 bread * h3899: they have not called * h7121 h8804 upon God * h430.
5 There were they in great * h6343 fear * h6342 h8804, where no fear * h6343 was: for God * h430 hath scattered * h6340 h8765 the bones * h6106 of him that encampeth * h2583 h8802 against thee: thou hast put them to shame * h954 h8689, because God * h430 hath despised * h3988 h8804 them. were...: Heb. they feared a fear
6 Oh that * h5414 h8799 the salvation * h3444 of Israel * h3478 were come out of Zion * h6726! When God * h430 bringeth back * h7725 h8800 the captivity * h7622 of his people * h5971, Jacob * h3290 shall rejoice * h1523 h8799, and Israel * h3478 shall be glad * h8055 h8799. Oh that...: Heb. Who will give salvation, etc
