\d A psalm written by David for the choir director, to be sung using a tune called "Mahalath."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Only foolish people say to themselves, "There is no God!"
|
|
\q1 People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins;
|
|
\q2 there is not one of them who does what is good.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 God looks down from heaven and sees humans;
|
|
\q1 he looks to see if any man is very wise
|
|
\q2 and seeks to know God.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 But everyone has turned away from God. They are depraved and do disgusting, filthy things.
|
|
\q2 No one does what is good.
|

\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Will all these evil people never learn what God will do to them?
|
|
\q1 They hurt Yahweh's people with terrible violence. They had no guilt in what they did. They had the same expression on their faces as people eating bread at dinner.
|
|
\q2 And what is worse is that they never prayed to Yahweh.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 But someday those people will become very terrified,
|
|
\q2 although they have nothing to fear.
|
|
\q1 For God will cause those who attack you to die,
|
|
\q2 and he will scatter their bones.
|
|
\q1 They have rejected God,
|
|
\q2 so he will cause them to be defeated and completely disgraced.
|

\q1
|
|
\v 6 I wish that God would come and rescue the Israelite people!
|
|
\q2 God, when you bless your people again,
|
|
\q1 all the Israelite people, all the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice.
