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: —

大衛的訓誨詩，交與伶長。調用麻哈拉。 愚頑人心裏說：沒有上帝。 他們都是邪惡，行了可憎惡的罪孽； 沒有一個人行善。

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.

上帝從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有？ 有尋求他的沒有？

3 They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, one!

他們各人都退後，一同變為污穢； 並沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。

4 Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, [as] they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.

作孽的沒有知識嗎？ 他們吞吃我的百姓如同吃飯一樣，並不求告上帝。

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.

他們在無可懼怕之處就大大害怕， 因為上帝把那安營攻擊你之人的骨頭散開了。 你使他們蒙羞，因為上帝棄絕了他們。

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.

但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。 上帝救回他被擄的子民那時， 雅各要快樂，以色列要歡喜。
