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 Overseer. — 'On a disease.' — An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing 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 from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking 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 went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing 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。

Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

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 feared a fear — there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For 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。

Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
