1
Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
2
The Lord looks down from heaven
on the entire human race;
he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.
3
But no, all have turned away;
all have become corrupt. 1
No one does good,
not a single one!
4
Will those who do evil never learn?
They eat up my people like bread
and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord .
5
Terror will grip them,
for God is with those who obey him.
6
The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
but the Lord will protect his people.
7
Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?
When the Lord restores his people,
Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
