New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 {To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.
|
1 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 children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
|
2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
|
|
3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
|
3 All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
|
|
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.
|
4 Will evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD?
|
|
5 There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.
|
5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.
|
|
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.
|
6 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 Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
|
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
