| 1 | Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does 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 looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks 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 | But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single 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 | Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to 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 | Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him. | 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 | The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD will protect his people. | 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 | Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When the LORD restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice. | 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! | |
