New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 To the Chief Musician. Set to 'Mahalath.' A Contemplation of David. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.
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 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
2
God looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.
3
But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one!
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God?
4
Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to God.
5 There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them.
5
Terror will grip them, terror like they have never known before. God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
6
Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When God restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
