1למנצח לדוד אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו התעיבו עלילה אין עשה טוב׃
1For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.
2יהוה משמים השקיף על בני אדם לראות היש משכיל דרש את אלהים׃
2Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.
3הכל סר יחדו נאלחו אין עשה טוב אין גם אחד׃
3They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4הלא ידעו כל פעלי און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם יהוה לא קראו׃
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?
5שם פחדו פחד כי אלהים בדור צדיק׃
5There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.
6עצת עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו׃
6Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.
7מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב יהוה שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל׃
7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
