1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”They are corrupt.They have done abominable deeds.There is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven on the children of men,to see if there were any who understood,who sought after God.
3 They have all gone aside.They have together become corrupt.There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,who eat up my people as they eat bread,and don’t call on the Lord?
5 There they were in great fear,for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 You frustrate the plan of the poor,because the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion!When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
