1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not on the LORD.

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They are corrupt; they have done abominable works, there is no one who does good.

2 Jehovah looked down from Heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who understood and sought God.

3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity not known, eating up My people as they eat bread? They have not called upon Jehovah.

5 There they were in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel was out of Zion! When Jehovah brings back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
