To the chief Musician , A Psalm of David .
1 The fool hath said in his heart , There is no God. They are corrupt , they have done abominable works , there is none that doeth good .
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand , and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside , they are all together become filthy : there is none that doeth good , no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge ? who eat up my people as they eat bread , and call not upon the LORD .
5 There were they in great fear : for God is in the generation of the righteous .
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor , because the LORD is his refuge .
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people , Jacob shall rejoice , and Israel shall be glad .
