1לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אָ֘מַ֤ר נָבָ֣ל בְּ֭לִבּוֹ אֵ֣ין אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִֽשְׁחִ֗יתוּ הִֽתְעִ֥יבוּ עֲלִילָ֗ה אֵ֣ין עֹֽשֵׂה־טֽוֹב׃
lamnatzeach ledavid amar naval belibbo en elohim hishchitu hit'ivu alila en ose-tov
For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; there is none that doeth good.
2יְֽהוָ֗ה מִשָּׁמַיִם֮ הִשְׁקִ֪יף עַֽל־בְּנֵי־אָ֫דָ֥ם לִ֭רְאוֹת הֲיֵ֣שׁ מַשְׂכִּ֑יל דֹּ֝רֵשׁ אֶת־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
ADONAI mishamayim hishkif al-bene-adam lirot hayesh maskil doresh et-elohim
The LORD looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.
3הַכֹּ֥ל סָר֮ יַחְדָּ֪ו נֶ֫אֱלָ֥חוּ אֵ֤ין עֹֽשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב אֵ֝֗ין גַּם־אֶחָֽד׃
hakkol sar yachdav ne'elachu en ose-tov en gam-echad
They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4הֲלֹ֥א יָדְעוּ֮ כָּל־פֹּ֪עֲלֵ֫י אָ֥וֶן אֹכְלֵ֣י עַ֭מִּי אָ֣כְלוּ לֶ֑חֶם יְ֝הוָ֗ה לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃
halo yad'u kal-po'ale aven okhle ammi akhlu lechem ADONAI lo karau
’Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD?'
5שָׁ֤ם ׀ פָּ֣חֲדוּ פָ֑חַד כִּֽי־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בְּד֣וֹר צַדִּֽיק׃
sham pachadu fachad ki-elohim bedor tzaddik
There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.
6עֲצַת־עָנִ֥י תָבִ֑ישׁוּ כִּ֖י יְהוָ֣ה מַחְסֵֽהוּ׃
atzat-ani tavishu ki ADONAI machsehu
Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.
7מִ֥י יִתֵּ֣ן מִצִּיּוֹן֮ יְשׁוּעַ֪ת יִשְׂרָ֫אֵ֥ל בְּשׁ֣וּב יְ֭הוָה שְׁב֣וּת עַמּ֑וֹ יָגֵ֥ל יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב יִשְׂמַ֥ח יִשְׂרָֽאֵל׃
mi yitten mitziyyon yeshu'at yisra'el beshuv ADONAI shevut ammo yagel ya'akov yismach yisra'el
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
