1To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

2Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

3The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

4Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

5There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

6The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

7'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
