Tehillim 53 - Chapter 53 - Psalm 53

{א} לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל מָחֲלַת מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִד:
{ב} אָמַר נָבָל בְּלִבּוֹ אֵין אֱלֹהִים הִשְׁחִיתוּ וְהִתְעִיבוּ עָוֶל אֵין עֹשֵׂה טוֹב:
{ג} אֱלֹהִים מִשָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁקִיף עַל בְּנֵי אָדָם לִרְאוֹת הֲיֵשׁ מַשְׂכִּיל דֹּרֵשׁ אֶת אֱלֹהִים:
{ד} כֻּלּוֹ סָג יַחְדָּו נֶאֱלָחוּ אֵין עֹשֵׂה טוֹב אֵין גַּם אֶחָד:
{ה} הֲלֹא יָדְעוּ פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן אֹכְלֵי עַמִּי אָכְלוּ לֶחֶם אֱלֹהִים לֹא קָרָאוּ:
{ו} שָׁם פָּחֲדוּ פַחַד לֹא הָיָה פָחַד כִּי אֱלֹהִים פִּזַּר עַצְמוֹת חֹנָךְ הֱבִשֹׁתָה כִּי אֱלֹהִים מְאָסָם:
{ז} מִי יִתֵּן מִצִּיּוֹן יְשֻׁעוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּשׁוּב אֱלֹהִים שְׁבוּת עַמּוֹ יָגֵל יַעֲקֹב יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל:

{א} לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־מָחֲלַ֗ת מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃
{ב} אָ֘מַ֤ר נָבָ֣ל בְּ֭לִבּוֹ אֵ֣ין אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִֽ֝שְׁחִ֗יתוּ וְהִֽתְעִ֥יבוּ עָ֝֗וֶל אֵ֣ין עֹֽשֵׂה־טֽוֹב׃
{ג} אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים מִשָּׁמַיִם֮ הִשְׁקִ֢יף עַֽל־בְּנֵ֫י אָדָֽם לִ֭רְאוֹת הֲיֵ֣שׁ מַשְׂכִּ֑יל דֹּ֝רֵ֗שׁ אֶת־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

Tehillim 53 : Transliteration

Lamnatsêach al machalat maskil ledavid
Amar naval belibo en Elohim, hish’chitu vehit’ivu ável, en osse tov
Elohim mishamáyim hish’kif al benê adam, lir’ot haiesh maskil doresh et Elohim
Culó sag, iachdav neeláchu, en osse tov en gam echad
Halo iadeu pôale áven, ochelê ami achelu léchem, Elohim lo caráu
Sham pachadu fáchad lo haia fachad, ki Elohim pizar atsmot chonach, hevishôta ki Elohim meassam
Mi yiten mitsión ieshuót Yisrael, beshuv Elohim shevut amo, iaguel Iaacov yismach Yisrael

Tehillim 53 - Tehillim translated into english

1. To the chief Musician according to Mahalath, A Maskil of David.
2. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that does good.
3. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any who understand, who seek God.
4. They have all fallen away; they have all become filthy; there is no one who does good, not even one.
5. Have the evil doers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread? Do they not call upon God?
6. There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; you have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
7. Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the exile of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
