Psalms 53

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

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

2 God looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

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

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

כלו סג יחדו נאלחו אין עשה טוב אין גם אחד׃

4 Have evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on God?

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

5 There they will be in great fear, where no fear had been, for God will scatter the bones of those who encamp against you. You will put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

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

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God brings back his people from captivity, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.

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