1 For the leader. Of David.The fool says in his heart,“There is no God.”Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt;not one does what is good.
2 The Lord looks down from heavenupon the children of men,To see if even one is wise,if even one seeks God.
3 All have gone astray;all alike are perverse.Not one does what is good,not even one.
4 Will these evildoers never learn?They devour my people as they devour bread;they do not call upon the Lord.
5 They have good reason, then, to fear;God is with the company of the just.
6 They would crush the hopes of the poor,but the poor have the Lord as their refuge.
7 Oh, that from Zion might comethe salvation of Israel!Jacob would rejoice, and Israel be gladwhen the Lord restores his people!
