1 For the choir director: A psalm of David.Only fools say in their hearts,“There is no God.”They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;not one of them does good!
2 The Lord looks down from heavenon the entire human race;he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,if anyone seeks God.
3 But no, all have turned away;all have become corrupt.No one does good,not a single one!
4 Will those who do evil never learn?They eat up my people like breadand wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.
5 Terror will grip them,for God is with those who obey him.
6 The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed,but the Lord will protect his people.
7 Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?When the Lord restores his people,Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
