| 1 | To the overseer; of David. The fool said in his heart, No God. They were corrupted, they made their; works abominable, none doing 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 | Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the sons of men, to see is there he understanding, seeking 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 | All turned away together, they were corrupted: none doing good, not even 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 | Did not the workers of vanity know? eating my people they ate bread; they called not Jehovah. | 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 they feared a fear: for God is in the generation of the just one. | 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 will shame the counsel of the poor, for Jehovah 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 | Who will give out of Zion the salvation of Israel? in Jehovah bringing back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, Israel shall 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! | |
