詩篇 53

1 達味訓誨歌，交與樂官，悲調。 愚妄的人心中說：「沒有天主，」他們都喪盡天良，恣意作惡。行善的人實在找不到一個。

Unto the end. For Mahalath: the thoughts of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they became abominable with iniquities. There is no one who does good.

2 天主由高天俯視世人的子孫，察看有無尋覓天主的明智人，

God gazed down from heaven on the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

3 人人都離棄了正道，趨向邪惡，沒有一人行善，實在沒有一個。

All have gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

4 那些作姦犯科的人，吞我民如食饅頭；總不呼求天主的人，豈不是愚蠢糊塗？

Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

5 在不應驚慌之處，他們反倒驚惶發呆；因為天主分散了那圍攻你者的骨骸，他們必將蒙羞，因天主已把他們捨棄。

They have not called upon God. In that place, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who please men. They have been confounded, because God has spurned them.

6 唯願以色列人的救援來自熙雍！天主若將自己的民族命運變更，雅各伯必將喜慶，以色列必將歡騰。

Who will grant from Zion the salvation of Israel? Jacob will exult, when God will convert the captivity of his people; and Israel will rejoice.
