1 T he 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 G od looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

3 E very one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 H ave the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon God?

5 T here 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 of God hath rejected them.

6 O h that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
