Psalms 53

1 For the leader. On mahalath. A maskil of David. Fools say in their heart, ‘There is no God.’ Vile, hateful their life is; not one 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 From heaven God looks out on humans, to see if any are wise, and care for 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 But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one 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 they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord.

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 Sore afraid will they be, where no fear was; when God scatters the bones of the godless people. They will be put to shame, when God rejects 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 If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When God brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful!

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。
