1لامام المغنين على العود. قصيدة لداود قال الجاهل في قلبه ليس اله. فسدوا ورجسوا رجاسة. ليس من يعمل صلاحا.
1To the Overseer. — `On a disease.` — An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.` They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
2الله من السماء اشرف على بني البشر لينظر هل من فاهم طالب الله.
2God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.
3كلهم قد ارتدوا معا فسدوا. ليس من يعمل صلاحا ليس ولا واحد
3Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good — not even one.
4ألم يعلم فاعلو الاثم الذين يأكلون شعبي كما يأكلون الخبز والله لم يدعوا.
4Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
5هناك خافوا خوفا ولم يكن خوف لان الله قد بدد عظام محاصرك. اخزيتهم لان الله قد رفضهم.
5There they feared a fear — there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
6ليت من صهيون خلاص اسرائيل. عند رد الله سبي شعبه يهتف يعقوب ويفرح اسرائيل
6Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
