תהילים 53

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

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that does good.

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

God looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

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

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that does good, no, not one.

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

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called on God.

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

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that encamps against you: you have put them to shame, because God has despised them.

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

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
