1. For the leader. Of David. I Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt; not one does what is right.

1. To the chief Musician H5329 , A Psalm of David H1732 . The fool H5036 hath said H559 in his heart H3820 , There is no H369 God H430 . They are corrupt H7843 , they have done abominable H8581 works H5949 , there is none H369 that doeth H6213 good H2896 .

2. The LORD H3068 looked down H8259 from heaven H4480 H8064 upon H5921 the children H1121 of men H120 , to see H7200 if there were H3426 any that did understand H7919 , and seek H1875 H853 God H430 .

4. Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people as they devour bread; they do not call upon the LORD.
|
4. Have all H3605 the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 no H3808 knowledge H3045 ? who eat up H398 my people H5971 as they eat H398 bread H3899 , and call H7121 not H3808 upon the LORD H3068 .
|
|
5. They have good reason, then, to fear; God is with the company of the just.
|
5. There H8033 were they in great fear H6342 H6343 : for H3588 God H430 is in the generation H1755 of the righteous H6662 .
|
|
6. They would crush the hopes of the poor, but the poor have the LORD as their refuge.
|
6. Ye have shamed H954 the counsel H6098 of the poor H6041 , because H3588 the LORD H3068 is his refuge H4268 .
|
|
7. Oh, that from Zion might come the deliverance of Israel, That Jacob may rejoice, and Israel be glad when the LORD restores his people!
|
7. Oh that H4310 H5414 the salvation H3444 of Israel H3478 were come out of Zion H4480 H6726 ! when the LORD H3068 bringeth back H7725 the captivity H7622 of his people H5971 , Jacob H3290 shall rejoice H1523 , and Israel H3478 shall be glad H8055 .
