1 | For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good. |
2 | Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God. |
3 | They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth 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 upon Jehovah? |
5 | There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous. |
6 | Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge. |
7 | Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. |
