1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt.
They have done abominable deeds.
There is no one who does good.
2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there were any who understood,
who sought after God.
3 They have all gone aside.
They have together become corrupt.
There is no one 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 don’t call on Yahweh?
5 There they were in great fear,
for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 You frustrate the plan of the poor,
because Yahweh is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people,
then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
1 To the Overcomer, A [Psalm] of David. The fool has said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] no one that does good.
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon 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] no one that does good, no, not one.
4 The workers of iniquity certainly know [this]; those who eat up my people [as] they eat bread and do not call upon the LORD.
5 There they were in great fear: for God [is] with the nation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor because the LORD [is] his hope.
7 Oh that the saving health of Israel [were come] out of Zion! When the LORD turns back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.:
