1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done disgusting works; There is none who does good.

2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the sons of man, To see if there were any who understood, That sought after God.

3 They have all gone aside; they have together become filthy; There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And do not call on Yahweh?

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

6 You{+} put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Yahweh is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh brings back the captivity of his people, Then will Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel will be glad.
