¹ To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good. ² The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God. ³ They have all gone astray, they are all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one. ⁴ Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon the LORD? ⁵ There they shall be in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous. ⁶ You would confound the plans of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge. ⁷ O that deliverance for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.
