1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The fool saith in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; abominable are their doings; There is none that doeth good.
2 Jehovah looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any that have understanding, That have regard to God.
3 They are all gone out of the way; together are they corrupt; There is none that doeth good—no, not one.
4 Shall not the evil-doers be requited, Who devour my people like bread, And call not upon Jehovah?
5 Yea, then shall they be in great fear; For Jehovah is with the race of the righteous.
6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor; But Jehovah is their refuge.
7 Oh that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captives of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel be glad.
