1 The fool[a] 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 heaven
on all mankind
to 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!
