1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.2 The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.4 Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.7 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.

1 [To the chief Musician. {A Psalm} of David.] The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.2 Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people {as} they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.5 There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah {was} his refuge.7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
