詩篇
CH. 53
1
〔大衛的訓誨詩、交與伶長、調用麻哈拉。〕愚頑人心裡說、沒有 神。他們都是邪惡、行了可憎惡的罪孽.沒有一個人行善。

For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
2
 神從天上垂看世人、要看有明白的沒有、有尋求他的沒有。

God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3
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。

Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4
作孽的沒有知識麼.他們吞喫我的百姓如同喫飯一樣.並不求告 神。

Will the evildoers never learn--those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on God?
5
他們在無可懼怕之處、就大大害怕.因為 神把那安營攻擊你之人的骨頭散開了.你使他們蒙羞、因為 神棄絕了他們。

There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6
但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。 神救回他被擄的子民、那時雅各要快樂、以色列要歡喜。

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
