לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מָחֲלַת מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִד׃ | Wickedness of Men. Psalm 53(v52) |
| The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none that does good.
|
אָמַר נָבָל בְּלִבֹּו אֵין אֱלֹהִים
הִשְׁחִיתוּ וְהִתְעִיבוּ עָוֶל אֵין עֹשֵׂה־טֹוב׃ | |
| God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men
to see if there are any that are wise, that seek after God.
|
אֱלֹהִים מִשָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁקִיף עַל־בְּנֵי אָדָם
לִרְאֹות הֲיֵשׁ מַשְׂכִּיל דֹּרֵשׁ אֶת־אֱלֹהִים׃ | |
| They have all fallen away; they are all alike depraved;
there is none that does good, no, not one.
|
כֻּלֹּו סָג יַחְדָּו נֶאֱלָחוּ אֵין עֹשֵׂה־טֹוב
אֵין גַּם־אֶחָד׃ | |
| Have those who work evil no understanding,
who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?
|
הֲלֹא יָדְעוּ פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן אֹכְלֵי עַמִּי אָכְלוּ לֶחֶם אֱלֹהִים לֹא קָרָאוּ׃ | |
| There they are, in great terror, in terror such as has not been!
For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly;
they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them.
|
שָׁם פָּחֲדוּ־פַחַד לֹא־הָיָה פָחַד כִּי־אֱלֹהִים פִּזַּר עַצְמֹות חֹנָךְ
הֱבִשֹׁתָה כִּי־אֱלֹהִים מְאָסָם׃ | |
| O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad. |
מִי יִתֵּן מִצִּיֹּון יְשֻׁעֹות יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּשׁוּב אֱלֹהִים שְׁבוּת עַמֹּו
יָגֵל יַעֲקֹב יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
