| [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 hath said in his heart, There is no God: they have corrupted, and done an abominable work: there is none that doeth 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 looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that would understand, and seek God. |
| [3]The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one. |
[3]All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one. |
| [4]Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called. |
[4]Do not all the workers of iniquity know that they eat up my people, as they eat bread? they call not upon the Lord. |
| [5]There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous. |
[5]There they shall be taken with fear, because God is in the generation of the just. |
| [6]The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge. |
[6]You have made a mock at the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his trust. |
| [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 give salvation unto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. |
