耶和華從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有，有尋求神的沒有。
你們叫困苦人的謀算變為羞辱；然而耶和華是他的避難所。

（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）愚頑人心裡說：沒有神。他們都是邪惡，行了可憎惡的事；沒有一個人行善。
耶和華從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有，有尋求神的沒有。
他們都偏離正路，一同變為污穢；並沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。
作孽的都沒有知識嗎？他們吞吃我的百姓，如同吃飯一樣，並不求告耶和華。
他們在那裡大大地害怕，因為神在義人的族類中。
你們叫困苦人的謀算變為羞辱；然而耶和華是他的避難所。
但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。耶和華救回他被擄的子民那時，雅各要快樂，以色列要歡喜。

<To the chief music-maker. Of David.>
The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.
The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.
They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.
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.
Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.
You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.
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.
