¹The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. ²The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. ³All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who dies good, not even one. ⁴Will evildoers never learn- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the Lord? ⁵There they are , overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. ⁶You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge. ⁷Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
