World English Bible
1Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his heart: There is no God.
1Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
2They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
3You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.
4You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?
5God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.
6The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
7“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
