1למנצח לדוד אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו התעיבו עלילה אין עשה טוב׃
1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.
2יהוה משמים השקיף על בני אדם לראות היש משכיל דרש את אלהים׃
2Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.
3הכל סר יחדו נאלחו אין עשה טוב אין גם אחד׃
3They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does 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 don’t call on Yahweh?
5שם פחדו פחד כי אלהים בדור צדיק׃
5There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6עצת עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו׃
6You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge.
7מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב יהוה שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל׃
7Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
