1 [To the chief Musician. {A Psalm} of David.] The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

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

3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people {as} they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

5 There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah {was} his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

1 א   למנצח לדוד br אמר נבל בלבו    אין אלהים br השחיתו התעיבו עלילה--    אין עשה-טוב br

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

3 ג   הכל סר יחדו נאלחו    אין עשה-טוב--אין גם-אחד br

4 ד   הלא ידעו כל-פעלי-און    אכלי עמי אכלו לחם יהוה לא קראו br

5 ה   שם פחדו פחד    כי-אלהים בדור צדיק br

6 ו   עצת-עני תבישו    כי יהוה מחסהו br

7 ז   מי יתן מציון    ישועת ישראל br בשוב יהוה שבות עמו    יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל
