The Lord looks down from heaven upon us all, to see if there is any who is wise, if there is one who seeks after God.
1. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." All are corrupt and commit abominable acts; there is none who does any good.
3. Every one has proved faithless; all alike have turned bad; there is none who does good; no, not one.
4. Have they no knowledge, all those evildoers who eat up my people like bread and do not call upon the Lord?
The Lord looks down from heaven upon us all, to see if there is any who is wise, if there is one who seeks after God.
5. See how they tremble with fear, because God is in the company of the righteous.
6. Their aim is to confound the plans of the afflicted, but the Lord is their refuge.
7. Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come out of Zion! when the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad.
The Lord looks down from heaven upon us all, to see if there is any who is wise, if there is one who seeks after God.
