The Fool Says, There Is No God
To the choirmaster. Of David.
1
1The 2fool says in his heart, 3"There is no God." They are 4corrupt, they do abominable deeds, 5there is none who does good.
2
The LORD 6looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand,a who 7seek after God.
3
They have all turned aside; together they have become 8corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.
4
Have they no 9knowledge, all the evildoers who 10eat up my people as they eat bread and 11do not call upon the LORD?
5
There they are in great terror, for God is with 12the generation of the righteous.
7
Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD 14restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
