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
.
