Folly and Wickedness of Men
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
[1 ] THE FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.
[2 ] Jehovah 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 ] They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
[4 ] Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?
[5 ] There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.
[6 ] Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because 2 Jehovah is his refuge.
[7 ] Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth 3 back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
