The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
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
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.
2 From heaven ADONAI observes humankind to see if anyone has understanding, if anyone seeks God.
2
The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 But all turn aside, all alike are corrupt; no one does what is right, not a single one.
3
They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does 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 do not call on the Lord?
5 There they are, utterly terrified; for God is with those who are righteous.
5
There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous.
6 You may mock the plans of the poor, but their refuge is ADONAI.
6
You shame the counsel of the poor, But 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 would come out of Zion! When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
