Psalms 53

1 For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David. 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.

למנצח על-מחלת משכיל לדוד ב אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו והתעיבו עול-- אין עשה-טוב

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

אלהים-- משמים השקיף על-בני-אדם לראות היש משכיל-- דרש את-אלהים

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

כלו סג יחדו נאלחו אין עשה-טוב אין גם-אחד

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon God?

הלא ידעו פעלי-און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם אלהים לא קראו

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 rejected them.

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

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

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