| 1 | For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; there is none that doeth good. | The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. | For the director of music. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. | |
| 2 | The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek after God. | The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. | The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. | |
| 3 | They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. | They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. | All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. | |
| 4 | Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. | Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the LORD? | Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the LORD. | |
| 5 | There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. | There they are in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous. | But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. | |
| 6 | Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. | You would shame the plans of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge. | You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge. | |
| 7 | Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. | 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. | Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! | |
