| 1Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." They are corrupt and commit evil deeds; not one of them practices what is good. | 1Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! |
| 2The LORD looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God. | 2The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. |
| 3All have turned away, together they have become corrupt; no one practices what is good, not even one. | 3But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one! |
| 4Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on the LORD. | 4Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to the LORD. |
| 5There they are seized with terror, because God is with those who are righteous. | 5Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him. |
| 6You would frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD is their refuge. | 6The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD will protect his people. |
| 7May Israel's deliverance come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will be glad. | 7Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When the LORD restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice. |
