1: (To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good. 2: Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 3: They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one. 4: Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah. 5: There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6: Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge. 7: Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
