Folly and Wickedness of Men.

For the choir director. {A Psalm} of David. 1
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good. 2
The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God. 3
They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.

 4
Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
Who eat up my people {as} they eat bread,
{And} do not call upon the Lord? 5
There they are in great dread,
For God is with the righteous generation. 6
You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the LORD is his refuge.

 7
Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
