To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 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.
