1   The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable works. There is none who does good. 2   The LORD looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God. 3   They have all turned away. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one. 4   Have all evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call on the LORD. 5   There they are utterly terrified, for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6   You would frustrate the plans of the lowly, but the LORD is his refuge. 7   Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
