1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none who does good.
2Yehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any who understood, Who sought after God.
3They have all turned aside; together they have become filthy; There is none who does good, no, not one.
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon Yehovah?
5There they were in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.
6You put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Yehovah is his refuge.
7Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yehovah brings back the captivity of his people, Then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
