American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David.The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity;There is none that doeth good.
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,To see if there were any that did {Or, deal wisely}understand,That did seek after God.
Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy;There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of {Many ancient authorities read lawlessness.}sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or {Greek: an object of worship. Acts 17:23.}that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the {Or, sanctuary}temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
For every one that {Or, practiseth}doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be {Or, convicted}reproved.
The fear of Jehovah is the {Or, chief part}beginning of knowledge;But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath {Hebrew: made to light.}laid on him the iniquity of us all.
