1 To the chief Musician, A
Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no
God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none
that doeth 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.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together
become filthy: there is none that doeth 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.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his
refuge.
7 Oh 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.
