For the director of music. Of David.
1 The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
There’s a lot of those these days.
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
Some days it definitely seems that way.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
I’m trying.
3 All have turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?
Yes.
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on the Lord.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
but the Lord is their refuge.
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
Zion is a mountain. I forget if I ever mentioned that.
When the Lord restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
