Psalms 53

1 To the Chief Musician. On Mahalath. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth 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, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men, —To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring 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 They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, 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 Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, [as] they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.

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 have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, —Thou hast put [him] to shame, Because, God, had, 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, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, 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。
