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 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 ׃
