F.O.G MSG

For the Choir Director: A Melancholic Tone. A Maskil of David.

¹Only fools^ᵃ convince themselves in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their actions are vile—
not one of them does what is right.

¹ᵃ Fools: The Hebrew word “nabal” refers to someone who is morally corrupt and spiritually senseless, not merely lacking intelligence, but willfully rejecting God’s authority and wisdom.
