1TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. A fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”; They have done corruptly, "" They have done abominable actions, "" There is not a doer of good.

2YHWH has looked from the heavens on the sons of men, "" To see if there is a wise one—seeking God.

3The whole have turned aside, "" Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

4Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, "" They have not called YHWH.

5They have feared a fear there, "" For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

6You cause the counsel of the poor to stink, "" Because YHWH [is] his refuge.

7“Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion?” When YHWH turns back "" [To] a captivity of His people, "" Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
