   1    ^note The impious fool says in his heart,
    ‘There is no God.’
  How vile men are, how depraved and loathsome;
    not one does anything good!
   2   God looks down from heaven
    on all mankind
  to see if any act wisely,
    if any seek out God.
3   But all are unfaithful, all are rotten to the core;
    not one does anything good,
    no, not even one.

     4   Shall they not rue it,
  these evildoers who devour my people
    as men devour bread,
    and never call upon God?

Book 2
   5   There they were in dire alarm ^note
  when God scattered them.
  The crimes of the godless were frustrated; ^note
    for God had rejected them.
6   If only Israel's deliverance might come out of Zion!
  When God restores his people's fortunes,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
