< Psalms 53 >
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
大卫的训诲诗,交与伶长。调用麻哈拉。 愚顽人心里说:没有 神。 他们都是邪恶,行了可憎恶的罪孽; 没有一个人行善。
2 God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
神从天上垂看世人,要看有明白的没有? 有寻求他的没有?
3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
他们各人都退后,一同变为污秽; 并没有行善的,连一个也没有。
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?
作孽的没有知识吗? 他们吞吃我的百姓如同吃饭一样,并不求告 神。
5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
他们在无可惧怕之处就大大害怕, 因为 神把那安营攻击你之人的骨头散开了。 你使他们蒙羞,因为 神弃绝了他们。
6 Oh that the salvation [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
但愿以色列的救恩从锡安而出。 神救回他被掳的子民那时, 雅各要快乐,以色列要欢喜。
