Вениамин Понкратов
The fool says in his heart, «There is no God»
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile
There is no one who does good
And God does let it for a while

God looks from heaven on all men
To see if there is anyone who understands
If there is anyone who seeks God
God looks from heaven with no word

And everyone has turned away
All have become corrupt
There is no one who does good
Not even one on start

Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They never call on God
And they devour my people
As though eating bread

But there they are, with dread they overwhelmed
Where there was clearly nothing, o My Lord, to dread
God scattered bones of those who attacked you
You put them all to shame, for God loves you

Oh, that salvation right for Israel come out of Zion!
When God restores His people with His hand
Oh, that salvation right for Israel come out of Zion!
Let Jacob be rejoiced and Israel be glad
