¹The fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have acted corruptly, they have done abominable deeds; there is no one who does good.

²Yahweh from the heavens looked down over the children of the man, to see if there is one who acts prudently, one who seeks God.

³All have turned aside, together they have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

⁴Do they not know, all those who work wickedness, who devour my people as they eat bread? They do not call on Yahweh.

⁵There they were in great dread, for God is with the righteous generation.

⁶You put to shame the plan of the poor, but Yahweh is his refuge.

⁷Who will give from Zion the deliverance of Israel? When Yahweh turns back his people's captivity, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
