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。

“To the chief musician upon Machalath, a Maskil of David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and they are abominable [in their] injustice: there is none that doth 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 looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for 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。

Every one [of them] hath departed [from righteousness]; altogether are they become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not 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。

Is there no knowledge in the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread: [while] they do not call on 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 were they terrified with terror where there was no terror; for God had scattered the bones of those that encamped against thee: thou didst put them to shame, because God had rejected 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 some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, [then] will Jacob be glad, [and] Israel will rejoice.
