1To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.2The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand,* who seek after God.3They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.4Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord?5There they are in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous.6You would shame the plans of the poor, but* the Lord is his refuge.7Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
New International Reader’s Version
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1Foolish people say in their hearts, ‘There is no God.’ They do all kinds of horrible and evil things. No one does anything good.2The LORD looks down from heaven on all people. He wants to see if there are any who understand. He wants to see if there are any who trust in God.3All of them have turned away. They have all become evil. No one does anything good, no one at all.4Do all these people who do evil know nothing? They eat up my people as if they were eating bread. They never call out to the LORD.5But just look at them! They are filled with terror because God is among those who do right.6You who do evil keep poor people from succeeding. But the LORD is their place of safety.7How I pray that the God who saves Israel will come out of Zion! Then the LORD will bless his people with great success again. So let the people of Jacob be filled with joy! Let Israel be glad!
