< Psalms 53 >

1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: 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 looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek 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 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not 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 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
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 they were in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised 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 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and 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。
