1 Fools say to themselves,“There is no God.”Fools are evil and do terrible things;there is no one who does anything good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven on all peopleto see if anyone understood,if anyone was looking to God for help.
3 But all have turned away.Together, everyone has become evil.There is no one who does anything good,not even one.
4 Don’t the wicked understand?They destroy my people as if they were eating bread.They do not ask the Lord for help.
5 But the wicked are filled with terror,because God is with those who do what is right.
6 The wicked upset the plans of the poor,but the Lord will protect them.
7 I pray that victory will come to Israel from Mount Zion!May the Lord bring them back.Then the people of Jacob will rejoice,and the people of Israel will be glad.
