Folly of the Godless, and the Restoration of Israel
To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A 1Contemplation of David.
1 The afool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
bThere 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 cseek 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 dno knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?
5 eThere 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 fOh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back 2the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
