< Psalms 53 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “ON A DISEASE.” AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A fool said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have done corruptly, Indeed, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
למנצח על-מחלת משכיל לדוד ב אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו והתעיבו עול-- אין עשה-טוב
2 God looked on the sons of men from the heavens, To see if there is an understanding one, [One] seeking God.
אלהים-- משמים השקיף על-בני-אדם לראות היש משכיל-- דרש את-אלהים
3 Everyone went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good—not even one.
כלו סג יחדו נאלחו אין עשה-טוב אין גם-אחד
4 Workers of iniquity have not known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, They have not called God.
הלא ידעו פעלי-און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם אלהים לא קראו
5 There they feared a fear—there was no fear, For God has scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against you, You have put to shame, For God has despised them.
שם פחדו פחד-- לא-היה-פחד כי-אלהים--פזר עצמות חנך הבשתה כי-אלהים מאסם
6 Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
מי יתן מציון ישעות ישראל בשוב אלהים שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל
