| לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ לְדָ֫וִ֥ד | 1 | For the director. By David. |
| אָ֘מַ֤ר נָבָ֣ל בְּ֭לִבּוֹ אֵ֣ין אֱלֹהִ֑ים | The fool has said to himself, “There is no God.” | |
| הִֽשְׁחִ֗יתוּ הִֽתְעִ֥יבוּ עֲלִילָ֗ה | They have corrupted (their deeds); they have done abominable deeds; | |
| אֵ֣ין עֹֽשֵׂה־טֽוֹב׃ | there is none who does good. | |
| יְֽהוָ֗ה מִשָּׁמַיִם֮ הִשְׁקִ֪יף עַֽל־בְּנֵי־אָ֫דָ֥ם | 2 | YHWH looked down from heaven upon humans |
| לִ֭רְאוֹת הֲיֵ֣שׁ מַשְׂכִּ֑יל | in order to see: "Is there is one who acts wisely, | |
| דֹּ֝רֵשׁ אֶת־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | who seeks after God ?" | |
| הַכֹּ֥ל סָר֮ יַחְדָּ֪ו נֶ֫אֱלָ֥חוּ | 3 | All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt; |
| אֵ֤ין עֹֽשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב | there is no one who does good; | |
| אֵ֝֗ין גַּם־אֶחָֽד׃ | there is not even one. | |
| הֲלֹ֥א יָדְעוּ֮ כָּל־פֹּ֪עֲלֵ֫י אָ֥וֶן | 4 | Do they not understand – all those who do evil, |
| אֹכְלֵ֣י עַ֭מִּי אָ֣כְלוּ לֶ֑חֶם | who eat my people as they have eaten food, | |
| יְ֝הוָ֗ה לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃ | who have not called upon YHWH? | |
| שָׁ֤ם ׀ פָּ֣חֲדוּ פָ֑חַד | 5 | Then they (would) have feared a fear, |
| כִּֽי־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בְּד֣וֹר צַדִּֽיק׃ | because God is with the righteous (group). | |
| עֲצַת־עָנִ֥י תָבִ֑ישׁוּ | 6 | You put to shame the insight of the oppressed, |
| כִּ֖י יְהוָ֣ה מַחְסֵֽהוּ׃ | because YHWH is his refuge. | |
| מִ֥י יִתֵּ֣ן מִצִּיּוֹן֮ יְשׁוּעַ֪ת יִשְׂרָ֫אֵ֥ל | 7 | Oh that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! |
| בְּשׁ֣וּב יְ֭הוָה שְׁב֣וּת עַמּ֑וֹ | When YHWH restores the fortune of his people, | |
| יָגֵ֥ל יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב יִשְׂמַ֥ח יִשְׂרָֽאֵל׃ | let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad! |
