תהילים 14

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד אָמַר נָבָל בְּלִבּוֹ אֵין אֱלֹהִים הִֽשְׁחִיתוּ הִֽתְעִיבוּ עֲלִילָה אֵין עֹֽשֵׂה־טֽוֹב׃

For the leader. Of David. Fools say in their heart, “There is no God.” Vile, hateful their life is; not one does good.

2 יְֽהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁקִיף עַֽל־בְּנֵי־אָדָם לִרְאוֹת הֲיֵשׁ מַשְׂכִּיל דֹּרֵשׁ אֶת־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

From heaven the Lord looks out on humans, to see if any are wise, and care for God.

3 הַכֹּל סָר יַחְדָּו נֶאֱלָחוּ אֵין עֹֽשֵׂה־טוֹב אֵין גַּם־אֶחָֽד׃

But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one.

4 הֲלֹא יָדְעוּ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן אֹכְלֵי עַמִּי אָכְלוּ לֶחֶם יְהוָה לֹא קָרָֽאוּ׃

Have they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord.

5 שָׁם ׀ פָּחֲדוּ פָחַד כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים בְּדוֹר צַדִּֽיק׃

Sore afraid will they be; for God is among those who are righteous,

6 עֲצַת־עָנִי תָבִישׁוּ כִּי יְהוָה מַחְסֵֽהוּ׃

you may mock the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.

7 מִי יִתֵּן מִצִיּוֹן יְשׁוּעַת יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּשׁוּב יְהוָה שְׁבוּת עַמּוֹ יָגֵל יַעֲקֹב יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָֽאֵל׃

If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When the Lord brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful!
