1 The fool says in his heart,‘There is no God.’They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;there is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heavenon all mankindto see if there are any who understand,any who seek God.
3 All have turned away, all have become corrupt;there is no one who does good,not even one.
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?They devour my people as though eating bread;they never call on the Lord.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,but the Lord is their refuge.
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!When the Lord restores his people,let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
