1 [For the Chief Musician. By David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who did understand, who did seek after God.
3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. 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 don't call on the Lord?
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 the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
