1The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have done hateful deeds; there is no one who does good.
2The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood and sought after God.
3They have all turned aside; together they have become filthy. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? They eat up my people as they eat bread, and they do not call on the LORD.
5There they were in great fear, for God is with the generation of the righteous.
6You have shamed the plans of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
7Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD brings back his people from captivity, Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will be glad.
