Folly and Wickedness of Men.

1 For the choir director; according to (a)Mahalath. A (b)Maskil of David.
(A)The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
(B)There is no one who does good.
2
God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is (C)anyone who (c)understands,
Who (D)seeks after God.
3
(E)Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
