Close but Clear

1 For the director. By David.

The fool has said to himself, “There is no God”.

They have corrupted (their deeds); they have done abominable deeds;

there is none who does good.

2 YHWH looked down from heaven upon humans

in order to see: "Is there one who acts wisely, who seeks after God?"

3 All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt;

there is no one who does good; there is not even one.

4 Do they not understand – all those who do evil,

who eat my people as they have eaten food,

who have not called upon YHWH?

5 Then they (would) have feared a fear,

because God is with the righteous (group).

6 You would put to shame the insight of the oppressed,

because YHWH is his refuge.

7 Oh, that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion!

When YHWH restores the fortunes of his people,

let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
