1Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.
1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
2When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?
2God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
3Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
3Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?
5For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
5There they were 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 rejected them.
6For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
7Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
