תהילים 14

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

To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

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

The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 הכל סר יחדו נאלחו אין עשה-טוב--אין גם-אחד

They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

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

Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

5 שם פחדו פחד כי-אלהים בדור צדיק

Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6 עצת-עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו

You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

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

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
