< Psalms 53 >
1 To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth 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 the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek 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 is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even 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, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they 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 were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised 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 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
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
