תהילים 53

1 למנצח על-מחלת משכיל לדוד ב אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו והתעיבו עול-- אין עשה-טוב

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.

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

God looked on the sons of men from the heavens, To see if there is an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

3 כלו סג יחדו נאלחו אין עשה-טוב אין גם-אחד

Everyone went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good—not even one.

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

Workers of iniquity have not known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, They have not called God.

5 שם פחדו פחד-- לא-היה-פחד כי-אלהים--פזר עצמות חנך הבשתה כי-אלהים מאסם

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.

6 מי יתן מציון ישעות ישראל בשוב אלהים שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל

Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
