诗篇
CH. 53
1
(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。

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
神从天上垂看世人,要看有明白的没有,有寻求他的没有。

God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3
他们各人都退后,一同变为污秽。并没有行善的。连一个也没有。

Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4
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。

Will the evildoers never learn--those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on God?
5
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。

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。

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!
