1 Dårerne siger i Hjertet: "Der er ingen Gud!" Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen gør godt.

1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David.The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;There is no one who does good.

2 HERREN skuer ned fra Himlen på Menneskens Børn for at se, om der findes en forstandig, nogen, der søger Gud.

2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of menTo see if there are any who understand,Who seek after God.

3 Afveget er alle, til Hobe fordærvet, ingen gør godt, end ikke een!

3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;There is no one who does good, not even one.

4 Er alle de Udådsmænd da uden Forstand, der æder mit Folk, som åd de Brød, og ikke påkalder HERREN?

4 Do all the workers of wickedness not know,Who eat up my people as they eat bread,And do not call upon the Lord?

5 Af Rædsel gribes de da, thi Gud er i de retfærdiges Slægt.

5 There they are in great dread,For God is with the righteous generation.

6 Gør kun den armes Råd til Skamme, HERREN er dog hans Tilflugt.

6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,But the Lord is his refuge.

7 Ak, kom dog fra Zion Israels Frelse! Når HERREN vender Folkets Skæbne, skal Jakob juble, Israel glædes! 

7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!When the Lord restores His captive people,Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
