Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.
1
The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist." They are corrupt; their actions are revolting. There is no one who does good.
2 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.
2
The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise, one who seeks God.
3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.
3
All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.
4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.
4
Will evildoers never understand? They consume my people as they consume bread; they do not call on the Lord.
5 There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.
5
Then they will be filled with terror, for God is with those who are righteous.
6 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.
6
You [sinners] frustrate the plans of the afflicted, but the Lord is his refuge.
7 `Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
7
Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion! When the Lord restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
