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 . 2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men , to see if there were any that did understand , and seek God . 3They are all gone aside , they are all 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 the LORD . 5There were they in great fear : for God is in the generation of the righteous . 6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor , because the LORD is his refuge . 7Oh 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 .
