< Psalms 53 >
1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, 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 heaven 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 altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth 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: they have not called 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 hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because 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 bringeth back the captivity of his people, 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
