The Folly of the Godless
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 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, Because the Lord is his refuge.
7 O 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.
