Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. ###### 2 2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. ###### 3 3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. ###### 4 4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. ###### 5 5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. ###### 6 6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
