1 * Only a fool would say,

"There is no God!"

People like that are worthless!

They are heartless and cruel

and never do right.

2 From heaven God

looks down to see

if anyone is wise enough

to search for him.

3 But all of them

are crooked and corrupt.

Not one of them does right.

4 Won't you lawbreakers learn?

You refuse to pray,

and you gobble up

the people of God.

5 But you will be terrified

worse than ever before.

God will scatter the bones

of his enemies,

and you will be ashamed

when God rejects you.

6 I long for someone from Zion

to come and save Israel!

Our God, when you bless

your people again,

Jacob's family will be glad,

and Israel will celebrate.
