1
|
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no YAHUVEH. Corrupt are they,
and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good. |
2
|
YAHUVEH looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there
were any that did understand, That did seek after YAHUVEH. |
3
|
Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There
is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
4
|
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as
they eat bread, And call not upon YAHUVEH? |
5
|
There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For YAHUVEH hath
scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them
to shame, because of YAHUVEH hath rejected them. |
6
|
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When YAHUVEH
bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and
Israel shall be glad. |
