< Psalms 14 >
1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; there is none that doeth good.
【無神者最愚蠢】愚妄人心中說:沒有天主;他們喪盡天良,恣意作惡;行善的人實在找不到一個!
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek after God.
上主由高天俯視世人之子,察看有無尋覓天主的智者。
3 They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
都離棄了正道,趨向邪惡:沒有一人行善,實在沒有一個。
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
那些作奸犯科的人,吞我民如食饅頭;總不呼號上主的人,豈不是愚蠢胡塗?
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
他們必然要驚慌失措,因上主喜愛義人家族。
6 Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
你們儘可鄙視貧苦者的主張,但上主卻要自作他們的保障。
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
唯以色列人的救援來自熙雍! 一旦上主將自己民族的命運變更,雅各伯必將喜慶,以色列必將歡騰。
