The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
1 For the leader. By David: Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God."They deal corruptly, their deeds are vile, not one does what is right.
1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2 From heaven ADONAI observes humankind to see if anyone has understanding, if anyone seeks God.
2
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3 But all turn aside, all alike are corrupt; no one does what is right, not a single one.
3
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Don't they ever learn, all those evildoers, who eat up my people as if eating bread and never call on ADONAI?
4
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
5 There they are, utterly terrified; for God is with those who are righteous.
5
There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 You may mock the plans of the poor, but their refuge is ADONAI.
6
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
7 How I wish Isra'el's salvation would come out of Tziyon! When ADONAI restores his people's fortunes, Ya'akov will rejoice, Isra'el will be glad!
7
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
