1 T he fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

2 G od looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3 E very one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

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

5 T here were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put to shame, for God hath despised them.

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