1 | 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. |
2 | The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. |
3 | They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
4 | Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. |
5 | There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. |
6 | Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. |
7 | 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. |
