- To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool
hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they
have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
- The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children
of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek
God.
- They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become
filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
- Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who
eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
- There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the
generation of the righteous.
- Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the
LORD [is] his refuge.
- Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of
Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
