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。

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that 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 looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek 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。

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that does good, no, not 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？

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called on God.

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。

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that encamps against you: you have put them to shame, because God has despised 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。

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
