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

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

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

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

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

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