ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.
The Fool and God’s Response Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and commit evil deeds; not one of them practices what is good. ² The LORD looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God. ³ All have turned away, together they have become corrupt; no one practices what is good, not even one. ⁴ Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on the LORD. ⁵ There they are seized with terror, because God is with those who are righteous. ⁶ You would frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD is their refuge. ⁷ May Israel’s deliverance come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will be glad.
