Book
Chapter
1
Fools say to themselves, "There is no God!" They are all corrupt, and they have done terrible things; there is no one who does what is right.
2
The LORD looks down from heaven at us humans to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.
3
But they have all gone wrong; they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right, not a single one.
4
"Don't they know?" asks the LORD. "Are all these evildoers ignorant? They live by robbing my people, and they never pray to me."
5
But then they will be terrified, for God is with those who obey him.
6
Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble, but the LORD is their protection.
7
How I pray that victory will come to Israel from Zion. How happy the people of Israel will be when the LORD makes them prosperous again!
