To the director: Use the mahalath.[a] A maskil of David.

53 Only fools think there is no God.
    People like that are evil and do terrible things.
    They never do what is right.
God looks down from heaven to see
    if there is anyone who is wise,
    anyone who looks to him for help.
But everyone has turned away from him.
    Everyone has become evil.
No one does anything good.
    No, not one person!
