To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

2 God from heaven to look upon son: child man to/for to see: see there be prudent to seek [obj] God

God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3 all his to turn together to corrupt nothing to make: do good nothing also one

Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

4 not to know to work evil: wickedness to eat people my to eat food: bread God not to call: call to

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon God.

5 there to dread dread not to be dread for God to scatter bone to camp you be ashamed for God to reject them

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised them.
