| To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. | Wickedness of Men. Psalm 53(v52) | לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מָחֲלַת מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִד׃ | |
| 53 1 | 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׃ | |
| 2 | 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׃ | |
| 3 | 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׃ | |
| 4 | 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׃ | |
| 5 | 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׃ | |
| 6 | 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׃ | |
