| 1. | To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good. |
| 2. | Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God. |
| 3. | The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one. |
| 4. | Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called. |
| 5. | There they have feared a fear, For God `is' in the generation of the righteous. |
| 6. | The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah `is' his refuge. |
| 7. | `Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back `To' a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad! |
