1The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no God.
Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good.
2 God looked down from heaven
upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand,
that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back:
they are altogether become filthy;
there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
who eat up my people as they eat bread:
they have not called upon God.
5 There were they in great fear,
where no fear was:
for God hath scattered the bones
of him that encampeth against thee:
thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel
were come out of Zion!
When God bringeth back
the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
