	CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	<V 52:1>Unto the end. For Mahalath: the thoughts of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” <V 52:2>They were corrupted, and they became abominable with iniquities. There is no one who does good.	The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.	For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
2	<V 52:3>God gazed down from heaven on the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.	God looks down from heaven on the children of man to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.	God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3	<V 52:4>All have gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.	They have all fallen away; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.	Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4	<V 52:5>Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?	Have those who work evil no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?	Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on God.
5	<V 52:6>They have not called upon God. In that place, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who please men. They have been confounded, because God has spurned them.	There they are, in great terror, where there is no terror! For God scatters the bones of him who encamps against you; you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.	But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6	<V 52:7>Who will grant from Zion the salvation of Israel? Jacob will exult, when God will convert the captivity of his people; and Israel will rejoice.	Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.	Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
