1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.
2
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.
3
Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people `as' they eat bread, And call not upon God?
5
There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them.
6
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, `and' Israel shall be glad. Psalm 54 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
