1The fool hath said in his heart , There is no God. They are corrupt , they have done abominable works ; There is none that doeth good . 2Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men , To see if there were any that did understand , That did seek after God . 3They are all gone aside ; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good , no , not one .
God's Perspective on Humanity
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge , Who eat up my people as they eat bread , And call not upon Jehovah ? 5There were they in great fear ; For God is in the generation of the righteous . 6Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor , Because Jehovah is his refuge . 7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people , Then shall Jacob rejoice , and Israel shall be glad .
