3  When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, ^vwhich you have set in place,

4  ^wwhat is man that you are mindful of him,

and the son of man that you ^xcare for him?

5  Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings¹

and crowned him with ^yglory and honor.

1  ^zThe fool says in his heart, ^a“There is no God.”

They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;

^bthere is none who does good.

2  The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man,

to see if there are any who understand,¹

who seek after God.

3  They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;

^cthere is none who does good,

not even one.

5  Behold, I was ^qbrought forth in iniquity,

and in sin did my mother conceive me.
