1 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 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 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 the LORD.

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

1 To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;` They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

2 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

5 There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

6 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

7 `Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
