The Folly of the Godless and God’s Final Triumph

14For the music director. Of David.a

1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt.

They do abominable deeds.

There is none who does good.

2Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind

to see whether there is one who has insight,

one who cares about God.

3All have gone astray;

they are altogether corrupt.

There is not one who does good;

there is not even one.

To the choirmaster. Of David.

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;

there is none who does good.

The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man,

to see if there are any who understand,

who seek after God.

They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;

there is none who does good,

not even one.

“There is no God.”

They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;

there is no one who does good.

to see if there are any who understand,

any who seek God.

All have turned away, all have become corrupt;

there is no one who does good,

not even one.

The fool says in his heart, “There’s no God.”

They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.

There is no one who does good.

The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race

to see if there is one who is wise,

one who seeks God.

All have turned away;

all alike have become corrupt.

There is no one who does good,

not even one.

NLTNew Living Translation

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

Only fools say in their hearts,

“There is no God.”

They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;

not one of them does good!

The Lord 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!

KJV 1900King James Version

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,

There is none that doeth good.

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

To see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:

There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
