The Wickedness of Men
53* Fools say to themselves,
“There is no God.”
They are all corrupt,
and they have done terrible things;
there is no one who does what is right.
2*God looks down from heaven at the human race
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3*But they have all turned away;
they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.
God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.

NLTNew Living Translation
Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
God looks down from heaven
on the entire human race;
he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.
But no, all have turned away;
all have become corrupt.
No one does good,
not a single one!

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt and they have done abominable iniquity.
There is none who does good.
God looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind
to see whether there is one who has insight,
one who seeks God.
All of them have turned back.
They are altogether corrupt.
There is none who does good;
there is not even one.

KJV 1900King James Version
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
There is none that doeth good.
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy;
There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
