Mmm… look down… from heaven… See the children of man… Searching… or turning away… Ohhh… The fool says in his heart “There is no God” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds There is none who does good None at all… No one does good No, not one They’ve all turned aside Corrupt in the night No one does good No, not one Yet the Lord is watching From above… The Lord looks down from heaven On the children of man To see if there are any who understand Who seek after God But they have all turned aside Together become corrupt There is none who does good Not even one… No one does good No, not one They’ve all turned aside Corrupt in the night No one does good No, not one Yet the Lord is watching From above… Have they no knowledge All the evildoers Who eat up my people As they eat bread And do not call upon the Lord? There they are in great terror For God is with the generation Of the righteous… You would shame the plans of the poor But the Lord is his refuge Oh, that salvation for Israel Would come out of Zion When the Lord restores the fortunes Of his people Let Jacob rejoice Let Israel be glad… No one does good No, not one They’ve all turned aside Corrupt in the night No one does good No, not one But the Lord is his refuge Salvation will come… Let Jacob rejoice Let Israel be glad… Mmm… be glad… Ohhh… let Israel be glad…
