| 1 | For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil 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. | 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 | God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek after 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 | Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not 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 | Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon God. | 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 | There 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 rejected 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 | Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God 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 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! | |
