2

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

3

Every one of them has gone back they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4

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

5

They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

6

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