1 Folly of the Godless, and the Restoration of Israel To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A Contemplation of David. The Ps. 10:4 fool has said in his heart, “ There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; Rom. 3:10–12 There is none who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who (2 Chr. 15:2) seek God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity Jer. 4:22 no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God?
5 Lev. 26:17, 36; Prov. 28:1 There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them.
6 Ps. 14:7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
