1
For the choir director: A psalm of David. Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; no one does good!
2
The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if there is even one with real understanding, one who seeks for God.
3
But no, all have turned away from God; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not even one!
4
Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread; they 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
Oh, that salvation would come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel! For when the LORD restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
