1THE fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt; their actions are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven
on the sons of man
to see if there are any who have understanding;
any who seek after God.
3 All have turned aside,
all alike are corrupt,
there is no one who does good;
no, not even one.
4 Will evildoers never understand?
They eat up My people as men eat bread,
and do not call on the Lord.
5 There they are, overwhelmed with terror,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers would shame the plans of the poor,
but the Lord is their refuge.
7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortune of His people,
Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will be glad!
