The Lord (A)looks down from heaven on the children of man,
    to see if there are any who understand,[a]
    who (B)seek after God.

They have all turned aside; together they have become (C)corrupt;
    there is none who does good,
    not even one.

    who (E)eat up my people as they eat bread
    and (F)do not call upon the Lord?
