Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New Living Translation NLT
1 (13-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David.> The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God. They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.
1
Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!
2 (13-2) The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
2
The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.
3 (13-3) They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good: no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
3
But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one!
4 (13-4) Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
4
Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to the LORD .
5 (13-5) They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
5
Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him.
6 (13-6) For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man; but the Lord is his hope.
6
The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD will protect his people.
7 (13-7) Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
7
Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When the LORD restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
