ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

God looks down from heaven

on all mankind

to see if there are any who understand,

Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;

there is no one who does good,

not even one.

There is no one who does good,

not even one.

NLTNew Living Translation

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!

there is not even one.
