1 The fool has said in his heart: »There is no God Jehovah*.« They are corrupt and have done abominable detestable iniquity. There are none who do good. *Possible deliberate scribal change from YHWH to Elohim2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any who understand and seek God.3 Every one of them has gone back: they are totally corrupted filthy. None do good, no, not one.4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? They eat up my people as they eat bread. They have not called upon God.5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has despised them.6 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah brings his people back from captivity, Jacob and Israel will rejoice and be glad.
