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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

They are corrupt, they have done abominable works;

There is none that doeth good.

2 Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

To see if there were any that did understand,

That did seek after God.

3 They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy;

There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

Who eat up my people as they eat bread,

And call not upon Jehovah?

5 There were they in great fear;

For God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor,

Because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!

When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people,

Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
