1 [To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David.] The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

2 God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3 Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people {as} they eat bread? they call not upon God.

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put {them} to shame, for God hath despised them.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

1 Kvailys pasakė savo širdyje: "Nėra Dievo". Jie sugedo, elgiasi bjauriai, nėra, kas gera darytų.

2 Dievas pažiūrėjo iš dangaus į žmones, kad pamatytų, ar yra, kas išmano ir ieško Dievo.

3 Jie visi atsitraukė, visi kartu sugedo. Nėra darančio gera, nėra nė vieno.

4 Argi nesupranta piktadariai, kurie ryja mano tautą lyg duoną? Ir Dievo jie nesišaukia.

5 Jie drebėjo iš baimės, kai nebuvo ko bijoti. Dievas išsklaidė kaulus tų, kurie tave apgulė. Jie buvo sugėdinti, nes Dievas paniekino juos.

6 O kad ateitų iš Siono išgelbėjimas Izraeliui! Kai Dievas parves savo tautos belaisvius, džiaugsis Jokūbas, linksminsis Izraelis!
