1 The 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 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

To see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3 Every one of them is gone back, they are altogether become filthy;

There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?

Who eat up my people as they eat bread:

They have not called upon God.

5 There 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 God hath despised them.

6 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!

When God bringeth back the captivity of his people,

Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
