詩篇 53

1 大衛的訓誨詩，交與伶長。調用麻哈拉。 愚頑人心裏說：沒有上帝。 他們都是邪惡，行了可憎惡的罪孽； 沒有一個人行善。

For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

2 上帝從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有？ 有尋求他的沒有？

God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

3 他們各人都退後，一同變為污穢； 並沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

4 作孽的沒有知識嗎？ 他們吞吃我的百姓如同吃飯一樣，並不求告上帝。

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

5 他們在無可懼怕之處就大大害怕， 因為上帝把那安營攻擊你之人的骨頭散開了。 你使他們蒙羞，因為上帝棄絕了他們。

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

6 但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。 上帝救回他被擄的子民那時， 雅各要快樂，以色列要歡喜。

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
