1The fool says in his heart: »There is no God Jehovah (Psalm 10:4).« They are corrupt. They do disgusting things. No one does good things. 2Jehovah looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, if there is anyone who seeks help from God. 3Everyone has turned away. Together they have become rotten to the core. No one, not even one person, does good things. 4Are all the workers of wickedness, those who devour my people as if they were devouring food, so ignorant that they do not call on Jehovah? 5They were in great fear and panic because God is with the righteous person. 6They put the advice of oppressed people to shame because Jehovah is their protection. 7If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When Jehovah restores his captive people, Jacob will rejoice. Israel will be glad.
