Psalms 14:2-3
Psalms 14:2-3 The Message (MSG)
GOD sticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He’s looking for someone not stupid— one man, even, God-expectant, just one God-ready woman. He comes up empty. A string of zeros. Useless, unshepherded Sheep, taking turns pretending to be Shepherd. The ninety and nine follow their fellow.
Psalms 14:2-3 King James Version (KJV)
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.
Psalms 14:2-3 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Psalms 14:2-3 New Century Version (NCV)
The LORD looked down from heaven on all people to see if anyone understood, if anyone was looking to God for help. But all have turned away. Together, everyone has become evil. There is no one who does anything good, not even one.
Psalms 14:2-3 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 14:2-3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the children of men To see if there are any who understand (act wisely), Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance]. They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. [Rom 3:11, 12]
Psalms 14:2-3 New Living Translation (NLT)
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!
Psalms 14:2-3 The Passion Translation (TPT)
YAHWEH looks down in love, looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters. He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, any who are searching for God and wanting to please him. But everyone has wandered astray, walking stubbornly toward evil. Not one is good; he can’t even find one.
