| Folly and Wickedness of Men |
| For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David. |
| [1] | THE FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good. |
| [2] | God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, 1 That did seek after God. |
| [3] | Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
| [4] | Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon God? |
| [5] | There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them. |
| [6] | Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth 2 back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. |
| Note 1. Or, deal wisely. [back] |
| Note 2. Or, returneth to. [back] |
