1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

2 Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

3 They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon Jehovah?

5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When Jehovah brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
