Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his heart: There is no God.

2 They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.

3 God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.

4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.

5 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?

6 They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

7 Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

How does the psalmist describe himself in contrast to the boastful man?
Verse 8 says 'I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever,' an image of flourishing similar to the righteous compared to trees in Psalms 92:12-14.
How do the righteous respond to the wicked man's downfall?
Verse 6 says 'The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him,' reacting with a mix of awe at God's judgment and derision toward the wicked.
