1 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.

2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who did understand, who did seek after God.

3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. 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 don't call on Yahweh?

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

6 You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. A Psalm by David.
