¹ (A psalm by David for the music leader.) Only a fool would say, "There is no God!" People like that are worthless; they are heartless and cruel and never do right. ² From heaven the LORD looks down to see if anyone is wise enough to search for him. ³ But all of them are corrupt; no one does right. ⁴ Won't you evil people learn? You refuse to pray, and you gobble down the LORD's people. ⁵ But you will be frightened, because God is on the side of every good person. ⁶ You may spoil the plans of the poor, but the LORD protects them. ⁷ I long for someone from Zion to come and save Israel! Our LORD, when you bless your people again, Jacob's family will be glad, and Israel will celebrate.
