תהילים 14

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

For the music director. A psalm of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral; they commit terrible sins; not a single one of them does anything good.

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

The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to God.

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

They have all gone their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

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

Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to the Lord.

5 שם פחדו פחד כי-אלהים בדור צדיק

Look, they will become terrified, because God is with those who live right.

6 עצת-עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו

The wicked dismiss the plans of the poor people, but the Lord looks after them.

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

If only the Lord's salvation would come from Zion! When the Lord restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
