< Psalms 53 >
1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.
愚かなるものは心のうちに神なしといへり かれらは腐れたりかれらは憎むべき不義をおこなへり善をおこなふ者なし
2 God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who understood, who seek after God.
神は天より人の子をのぞみて悟るものと神をたづぬる者とありやなしやを見たまひしに
3 Every one of them has gone back. They have together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.
みな退ぞきてことごとく汚れたり善をなすものなし一人だになし
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?
不義をおこなふものは知覺なきか かれらは物くふごとくわが民をくらひ また神をよばふことをせざるなり
5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against thee. Thou have put them to shame because God has rejected them.
かれらは懼るべきことのなきときに大におそれたり 神はなんぢにむかひて營をつらぬるものの骨をちらしたまへばなり 神かれらを棄たまひしによりて汝かれらを辱かしめたり
6 O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
願くはシオンよりイスラエルの救のいでんことを 神その民のとらはれたるを返したまふときヤコブはよろこびイスラエルは樂まん
