The foolish man says, “There is no God”They sin and commit evil deeds.
None of them do what is right,
They just satisfy their own needs.
God looks down from Heaven,
At the entire human race.
To see if anyone seeks Him,
If they seek out His glorious face.
But everyone rejects God,
None of them do what is right.
Everyone commits evil,
They lie and steal and fight.
“Are you ignorant you evildoers?”
“Do you just not understand?”
None of them even pray to God,
They will feel the wrath of His hand.
But God is with those who obey Him,
The righteous and the oppressed.
For He is always with them,
The needy and the distressed.
So Lord bring victory to Israel,
Restore its people’s health.
Let all the people be happy,
Increase the nation’s wealth.
