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 Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth 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 looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were [any] that did understand, that did 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。

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth 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。

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread! they have not called 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 were in great fear, [where] no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath 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。

O that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
