1 The fool says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good. |
2 God looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God. |
3 Everyone has turned away,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one. |
4 Will the evildoers never learn-
those who devour my people as men eat bread
and who do not call on God? |
5 There they were, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them. |
6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! |
