1 Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.”They sin and commit evil deeds;none of them does what is right.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race,to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.
3 Everyone rejects God;they are all morally corrupt.None of them does what is right,not even one!
4 All those who behave wickedly do not understand – those who devour my people as if they were eating bread,and do not call out to the Lord.
5 They are absolutely terrified,for God defends the godly.
6 You want to humiliate the oppressed,even though the Lord is their shelter.
7 I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion!When the Lord restores the well-being of his people,may Jacob rejoice,may Israel be happy!
