1 The fools speak in their hearts; “There is no God,” they say. They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; none walk in God’s own way. 2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the human race to see if any understand, if any seek God’s face. 3 They all have turned aside; corrupt they have become. Not one of them does any good— no, not a single one. 4 Will sinners never learn? My people they’ve devoured as if they were consuming bread; they never seek the LORD. 5 Once fearless, now they fear; God scatters all their bones; and you will put your foes to shame as God’s rejected ones. 6 May help from Zion come! The LORD his captives bring! And then let Jacob’s tribes be glad; for joy let Israel sing! – vv. 1-4, 6 Sing Psalms, alt.; v. 5 Book of Psalms for Worship
