2

The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3

They have all gone out of the way together they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4

Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread they make no prayer to the Lord.

5

Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6

You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

7

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
