¹The fool has said in his heart,

“There is no God.”

They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds,

there is no one who does good.

²The Lord looks down from heaven[#Ge 6:12]

on the sons of men,

to see if there are any who are wise,

who seek after God.

³They have all gone astray;

they have together become corrupt;

there is no one who does good,

no, not one.

⁴Have they no knowledge, all the workers of iniquity,

who eat my people as they eat bread,

and do not call upon the Lord ?

⁵There they are in great fear,

for God is with the company of the righteous.

⁶You shame the plans of the poor,

but the Lord is his refuge.

⁷Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!

When the Lord turns back the captivity of His people,

Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
