诗篇 53

1 大卫的训诲诗，交与伶长。调用麻哈拉。 愚顽人心里说：没有 神。 他们都是邪恶，行了可憎恶的罪孽； 没有一个人行善。

For the music director. According to Mahalath. A psalm (maskil) of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral, they commit terrible sins, not a single one of them does anything good.

2 神从天上垂看世人，要看有明白的没有？ 有寻求他的没有？

God watches from heaven to see if anyone understands, if anyone wants to come to God.

3 他们各人都退后，一同变为污秽； 并没有行善的，连一个也没有。

They have all fallen away, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

4 作孽的没有知识吗？ 他们吞吃我的百姓如同吃饭一样，并不求告 神。

“Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to me.”

5 他们在无可惧怕之处就大大害怕， 因为 神把那安营攻击你之人的骨头散开了。 你使他们蒙羞，因为 神弃绝了他们。

They will become completely terrified, more frightened than they have ever been. God will scatter the bones of those who fight against you; you will defeat them because God has rejected them.

6 但愿以色列的救恩从锡安而出。 神救回他被掳的子民那时， 雅各要快乐，以色列要欢喜。

If only God's salvation would come from Zion! When God restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
