The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
