1The fool has said in his heart: »There is no God Jehovah*.« They are corrupt and have done abominable detestable iniquity. There are none who do good. *Possible deliberate scribal change from YHWH to Elohim 2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any who understand and seek God. 3Every one of them has gone back: they are totally corrupted filthy. None do good, no, not one. 4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? They eat up my people as they eat bread. They have not called upon God. 5There they were in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has despised them. 6Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah brings his people back from captivity, Jacob and Israel will rejoice and be glad.
