< תהילים 14 >

למנצח לדוד אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו התעיבו עלילה-- אין עשה-טוב 1
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no Elohim ·Deity, Judge·.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.
יהוה-- משמים השקיף על-בני-אדם לראות היש משכיל-- דרש את-אלהים 2
Adonai looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.
הכל סר יחדו נאלחו אין עשה-טוב--אין גם-אחד 3
All have gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
הלא ידעו כל-פעלי-און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם יהוה לא קראו 4
Have all the workers of vain striving of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Adonai?
שם פחדו פחד כי-אלהים בדור צדיק 5
There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the upright.
עצת-עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו 6
You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Adonai is his refuge.
מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב יהוה שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל 7
Oh that the yishu'ah ·salvation· of Israel [God prevails] would come out of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]! When Adonai restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob [Supplanter] shall rejoice, and Israel [God prevails] shall be glad.
