| 1Fools say to themselves "There is no God." They are corrupt and commit iniquity; not one of them practices what is good. | 1To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. |
| 2God looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God. | 2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. |
| 3All of them have fallen away; together they have become corrupt; no one does what is good, not even one. | 3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
| 4Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on God. | 4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. |
| 5There the Israelis were seized with terror, when there was nothing to fear. For God scattered the bones of those who laid siege against you — you put them to shame, for God rejected them. | 5There 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. |
| 6Would that Israel's deliverance come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad. | 6Oh 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. |
