To the director. Of David.
14 The foolish one says in his heart:
“There is no Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.”
Their actions are corrupt, and their dealings are detestable;
No one is doing good.
2 But Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} looks down from heaven on the sons of men
To see whether anyone has insight, whether anyone is seeking Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
3 They have all turned aside;
They are all alike corrupt.
No one is doing good,
Not even one.
4 Do none of the wrongdoers understand?
They devour my people as if they were eating bread.
They do not call on Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
5 But they will be filled with great terror,
For Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is with the generation of the righteous.
6 You wrongdoers try to frustrate the plans of the lowly one,
But Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is his refuge.
7 O that Isra'Al’s salvation may come from Zion!
When Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} gathers back his captive people,
Let Yacob be joyful, let Isra'Al rejoice.
