1למנצח על מחלת משכיל לדוד אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו והתעיבו עול אין עשה טוב׃
1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
2אלהים משמים השקיף על בני אדם לראות היש משכיל דרש את אלהים׃
2God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
3כלו סג יחדו נאלחו אין עשה טוב אין גם אחד׃
3Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4הלא ידעו פעלי און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם אלהים לא קראו׃
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?
5שם פחדו פחד לא היה פחד כי אלהים פזר עצמות חנך הבשתה כי אלהים מאסם׃
5There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
6מי יתן מציון ישעות ישראל בשוב אלהים שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל׃
6Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
