2 Yhwh looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon Yhwh.

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because Yhwh is his refuge.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when Yhwh bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When Jehovah brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
