① 1* 2The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their ways are wicked; not one of them does good.
3From heaven God looks down upon the people, to see if there is anyone who seeks God and understands.
4None! They have all fallen away. Depraved – they are all alike. There is no one who does good, no, not even one.
5Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people just as they devour food and never call on God.
6There they are – afraid when there is nothing to be feared. God will scatter their bones; they will be put to shame because God has rejected them.
7May I see Israel’s salvation coming forth from Zion! When God restores his people’s fortune, Jacob will be glad, Israel will rejoice.
- This psalm is almost identical to Ps 14.
