1 Godless fools say in their hearts,“There is no God.”They are corrupt.They do disgusting things.There is no one who does good things.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven on Adam’s descendantsto see if there is anyone who acts wisely,if there is anyone who seeks help from God.
3 Everyone has turned away.Together they have become rotten to the core.No one, not even one person, does good things.
4 Are all those troublemakers,those who devour my people as if they were devouring food,so ignorant that they do not call on the Lord?
5 There they are—panic-strickenbecause God is with the person who is righteous.
6 They put the advice of oppressed people to shamebecause the Lord is their refuge.
7 If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion!When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,Jacob will rejoice.Israel will be glad.
