² God looked down from heaven
    on the children of men,
to see if there were any who have insight,
    who seek God.
³ Every one of them has turned aside;
    they are altogether corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
    not even one.

⁴ Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
    who eat up my people as they eat bread,
    and do not call on God?
⁵ There they were in fear,
    where there was nothing to fear,
for God has scattered the bones of him who camps against you;
    you have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

⁶ Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
    When God brings back the captivity of His people,
    Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad.
