1Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David,
2when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?”
3Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.
4O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
5For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.
6For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
7Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.
8I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.
9For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: sobre Mahalath: Masquil de David. DIJO el necio en su corazón: No hay Dios. Corrompiéronse é hicieron abominable maldad: no hay quien haga bien.
2Dios desde los cielos miró sobre los hijos de los hombres, por ver si hay algún entendido que busque á Dios.
3Cada uno se había vuelto atrás; todos se habían corrompido: no hay quien haga bien, no hay ni aun uno.
4¿No tienen conocimiento todos esos que obran iniquidad? que comen á mi pueblo como si comiesen pan: á Dios no han invocado.
5Allí se sobresaltaron de pavor donde no había miedo: porque Dios ha esparcido los huesos del que asentó campo contra ti: los avergonzaste, porque Dios los desechó.
6¡Oh quién diese de Sión saludes á Israel! En volviendo Dios la cautividad de su pueblo, gozarse ha Jacob, y alegraráse Israel.

King James Version
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

World English Bible
1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
2God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
3Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?
5There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
