1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד אָמַר נָבָל בְּלִבֹּו אֵין אֱלֹהִים הִשְׁחִיתוּ הִתְעִיבוּ עֲלִילָה אֵין עֹשֵׂה־טֹוב׃

2 יְהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁקִיף עַל־בְּנֵי־אָדָם לִרְאֹות הֲיֵשׁ מַשְׂכִּיל דֹּרֵשׁ אֶת־אֱלֹהִים׃

3 הַכֹּל סָר יַחְדָּו נֶאֱלָחוּ אֵין עֹשֵׂה־טֹוב אֵין גַּם־אֶחָד׃

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

5 שָׁם ׀ פָּחֲדוּ פָחַד כִּי־אֱלֹהִים בְּדֹור צַדִּיק׃

6 עֲצַת־עָנִי תָבִישׁוּ כִּי יְהוָה מַחְסֵהוּ׃

7 מִי יִתֵּן מִצִּיֹּון יְשׁוּעַת יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּשׁוּב יְהוָה שְׁבוּת עַמֹּו יָגֵל יַעֲקֹב יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל ׃

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. 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.

2 The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

7 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
