Folly of the Godless, and God’s Final Triumph
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 The Ps. 10:4; 53:1fool has said in his heart,
"Thereis no God."
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
2 Ps. 33:13, 14; 102:19; Rom. 3:11The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 Rom. 3:12They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
Thereis none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And Ps. 79:6; Is. 64:7; Jer. 10:25; Amos 8:4; Mic. 3:3do not call on the Lord?
5 There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.
6 You shame the counsel of the poor,
But the Lordis his Ps. 9:9; 40:17; 46:1; 142:5refuge.
7 Ps. 53:6; (Rom. 11:25–27)Oh, that the salvation of Israel wouldcome out of Zion!
Deut. 30:3; Job 42:10When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
