{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The fool hath said in his heart, "Tush, there is no God." They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; there is none that doeth good, no not one.

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that would understand and seek after God.

But they are all gone out of the way, they are all together become abominable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief, eating up my people as it were bread, and call not upon the LORD?

There were they brought in great fear, even where no fear was; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

As for you, ye have made a mock at the counsel of the poor, because he putteth his trust in the LORD.

Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of Zion? When the LORD turneth the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
