1For the music director <05329>; by David <01732>. Fools <05036> say <0559> to themselves <03820>, “There is no <0369> God <0430>.” They sin <07843> and commit evil <08581> deeds <05949>; none <0369> of them does <06213> what is right <02896>.
2The Lord <03068> looks down <08259> from heaven <08064> at <05921> the human race <0120> <01121>, to see <07200> if there is anyone <03426> who is wise <07919> and seeks <01875> God <0430>.
3Everyone <03605> rejects <05493> God; they are all <03162> morally corrupt <0444>. None <0369> of them does <06213> what is right <02896>, not <0369> even <01571> one <0259>!
4All <03605> those who behave <06466> wickedly <0205> do not <03808> understand <03045>– those who devour <0398> my people <05971> as if they were eating <0398> bread <03899>, and do not <03808> call out <07121> to the Lord <03068>.
5They are absolutely <06342> terrified <06343>, for <03588> God <0430> defends the godly <06662> <01755>.
6You want to humiliate <0954> the oppressed <06041>, even though <03588> the Lord <03068> is their shelter <04268>.
7I wish the deliverance <03444> of Israel <03478> would come from Zion <06726>! When the Lord <03068> restores <07725> the well-being <07622> of his people <05971>, may Jacob <03290> rejoice <01523>, may Israel <03478> be happy <08055>!
