Psalms

Chapter 53
1
Phonetic (Hebrew): lamenatzּe֥cha 'aֽl-machala֗t mashsekּi֥yl ledaviֽd׃
Edified Edition (EDE)The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־מָחֲלַ֗ת מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃

2
Phonetic (Hebrew): a֘ma֤r naba֣l bּe֭libּo 'e֣yn 'elohi֑ym hiֽ֝shshechi֗ytu vehiֽte'i֥ybu 'a֝֗vel 'e֣yn 'oֽshseh-tֽob׃
Edified Edition (EDE)God looks down from heaven on the children of men to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

אָ֘מַ֤ר נָבָ֣ל בְּ֭לִבּוֹ אֵ֣ין אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִֽ֝שְׁחִ֗יתוּ וְהִֽתְעִ֥יבוּ עָ֝֗וֶל אֵ֣ין עֹֽשֵׂה־טֽוֹב׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): eֽlohi֗ym mishshּamayim֮ hishsheqi֪yp 'aֽl-bּene֫y 'ada֥m li֭re'ot haye֣shsh mashsekּi֑yl dּo֝re֗shsh 'et-'elohiֽym׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Every one of them has turned away; they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, no, not one.

אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִשָּׁמַיִם֮ הִשְׁקִ֪יף עַֽל־בְּנֵ֫י אָדָ֥ם לִ֭רְאוֹת הֲיֵ֣שׁ מַשְׂכִּ֑יל דֹּ֝רֵ֗שׁ אֶת־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּulּ֥o sag֮ yachedּa֪v ne֫'ela֥chu 'e֤yn 'oֽshseh-t֑ob 'e֝֗yn gּam-'echaֽd׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Do the workers of iniquity have no knowledge? They eat up my people as they eat bread; they have not called on God.

כֻּלּ֥וֹ סָג֮ יַחְדָּ֪ו נֶ֫אֱלָ֥חוּ אֵ֤ין עֹֽשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב אֵ֝֗ין גַּם־אֶחָֽד׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): halo֥ yade'u֮ pּo֤'ale֫y 'a֥ven 'okele֣y 'a֭mּiy 'a֣kelu le֑chem 'e֝lohi֗ym lo֣ qaraֽ'u׃
Edified Edition (EDE)There they were in great fear, where no fear was; for God has scattered the bones of those who camped against you; you have put them to shame, because God has despised them.

הֲלֹ֥א יָדְעוּ֮ פֹּ֤עֲלֵ֫י אָ֥וֶן אֹכְלֵ֣י עַ֭מִּי אָ֣כְלוּ לֶ֑חֶם אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): shsha֤m ׀ pּaֽchadu-pachad֮ lo'-ha֪yah֫ pa֥chad kּiֽy-'elohi֗ym pּi֭zּar 'atzem֣ot chona֑ke he֝bishsho֗tah kּiֽy-'elohi֥ym me'asaֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad.

שָׁ֤ם ׀ פָּֽחֲדוּ־פַחַד֮ לֹא־הָ֪יָה֫ פָ֥חַד כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֗ים פִּ֭זַּר עַצְמ֣וֹת חֹנָ֑ךְ הֱ֝בִשֹׁ֗תָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים מְאָסָֽם׃

7

מִ֥י יִתֵּ֣ן מִצִּיּוֹן֮ יְשֻׁע֪וֹת יִשְׂרָ֫אֵ֥ל בְּשׁ֣וּב אֱ֭לֹהִים שְׁב֣וּת עַמּ֑וֹ יָגֵ֥ל יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב יִשְׂמַ֥ח יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
