Psalms 14

1 For the Chief Musician. By David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

למנצח לדוד אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו התעיבו עלילה אין עשה טוב׃

2 The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

יהוה משמים השקיף על בני אדם לראות היש משכיל דרש את אלהים׃

3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

הכל סר יחדו נאלחו אין עשה טוב אין גם אחד׃

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on the LORD?

הלא ידעו כל פעלי און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם יהוה לא קראו׃

5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

שם פחדו פחד כי אלהים בדור צדיק׃

6 You frustrate the plan of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

עצת עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו׃

7 Oh that the salvation [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב יהוה שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל׃
