1 T he fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good.

2 T he Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God.

3 T hey have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.

4 D o all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord?

5 T here they are in great dread, For God is with the righteous generation.

6 Y ou would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted, But the Lord is his refuge.

7 O h, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
