^1aTo the choirmaster on Mahalath.↑

An Instructive Psalm of David.

^1bThe fool has said in his heart,

“There is no God^*.”

And they have acted corruptly;

They have committed abominable iniquity.

²God^* peered down from heaven

At the sons of Adam

⁴Do those engaged in iniquity not know?

– Those who devour my people

In the same way as they devour bread?

They do not call on God^*.

⁵There they had a great fear,

But there was no reason for fear,

For God^* has scattered the bones

Of him who encamps against you.

You have put them to shame,

Because God^* has rejected them.

⁶Oh for the salvation of Israel from Zion!

When God reverses the captivity of his people,

Jacob will rejoice

– Israel will be glad.
