\d A psalm written by David for the choir director
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Only foolish people say to themselves, "There is no God!"
|
|
\q1 People who say those things only do corrupt deeds;
|
|
\q2 there is not one of them who does what is good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 From heaven Yahweh looks down at everyone;
|
|
\q1 he looks to see if anyone is very wise,
|
|
\q2 wise enough to desire to know him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Everyone turns away from Yahweh. They are depraved and do disgusting, filthy things.
|
|
\q2 No one does what is good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Will those evil people never learn what God will do to punish them?
|
|
\q1 They act violently toward Yahweh's people and want to consume them like one who eats food consumes it,
|
|
\q2 and they never pray to Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 But some day they will become very terrified
|
|
\q2 because God helps those who act righteously and will punish those who reject him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do,
|
|
\q2 but Yahweh protects them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Out of Zion Yahweh will come and rescue the Israelite people!
|
|
\q2 He will make his people free again and will bring them back to their home.
|
|
\q2 On that day all of us Israelite people will rejoice, and we, who are also called the descendants of Jacob, will be happy.
