1 א   למנצח על-מחלת משכיל לדוד br 2 ב   אמר נבל בלבו    אין אלהים br השחיתו והתעיבו עול--    אין עשה-טוב br 3 ג   אלהים--    משמים השקיף על-בני-אדם br לראות היש משכיל--    דרש את-אלהים br 4 ד   כלו סג יחדו נאלחו    אין עשה-טוב אין גם-אחד br 5 ה   הלא ידעו פעלי-און    אכלי עמי אכלו לחם אלהים לא קראו br 6 ו   שם פחדו פחד--    לא-היה-פחד br כי-אלהים--פזר עצמות חנך    הבשתה כי-אלהים מאסם br [ (Psalms 53:7) ז   מי יתן מציון    ישעות ישראל br בשוב אלהים שבות עמו    יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל ]

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath. Maschil. Of David. 2 \53:1\The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.3 \53:2\God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.4 \53:3\Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.5 \53:4\Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.6 \53:5\They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.7 \53:6\May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! When the fate of his people is changed by God, Jacob will have joy, and Israel will be glad.
