1The fool hath said in his heart , There is no God . Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity : there is none that doeth good . 2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men , to see if there were any that did understand , that did seek God . 3Every one of them is gone back : they are altogether become filthy ; there is none that doeth good , no, not one .
God Looks Down from Heaven
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge ? who eat up my people as they eat bread : they have not called upon God . 5There were they in great fear , where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame , because God hath despised them.
The Corruption of Humanity
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people , Jacob shall rejoice , and Israel shall be glad .
