For the music, Director: on Mahalath,

a maskil of David.

In his heart, a fool says

“There is no God.”

They are corrupt and do vile deeds,

none of them do good.

God looks down from heaven on humankind

to see if anyone understands, anyone who seeks God.

Everyone has turned away

 – they have all become corrupt.

Not a single person does good!

Will evildoers never learn?

They devour my people just like bread

and never call upon God.

They live in terror even when

there is nothing to be afraid of.

God has scattered the bones of your foes.

You will put them to shame

because God has rejected them.

Who will bring salvation to Israel from Zion?

When God restores God’s people who are captive,

let Jacob rejoice

let Israel be glad!
