大卫的诗。交给圣咏团长。

人的邪恶(A)

14 愚顽人心里说:“没有 神。”
    他们都败坏,行了可憎恶的事,
    没有一个人行善。

耶和华从天上垂看世人,
    要看有明白的没有,
    有寻求 神的没有。

他们都偏离正路,一同变为污秽,
    没有行善的,
    连一个也没有。

作恶的都没有知识吗?
    他们吞吃我的百姓如同吃饭一样,
    并不求告耶和华。

他们在那里大大害怕,
    因为 神在义人的族类中。
你们叫困苦人的筹算变为羞辱,
    然而耶和华是他的避难所。

但愿以色列的救恩出自锡安
当耶和华救回他被掳子民的时候,
    雅各要快乐,以色列要欢喜。

Psalm 14(A)

For the director of music. Of David.

The fool[a] says in his heart,
    “There is no God.”(B)
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
    there is no one who does good.

The Lord looks down from heaven(C)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(D)
    any who seek God.(E)
All have turned away,(F) all have become corrupt;(G)
    there is no one who does good,(H)
    not even one.(I)

Do all these evildoers know nothing?(J)

They devour my people(K) as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.(L)
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge.(M)

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(N)
    When the Lord restores(O) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 14:1 The Hebrew words rendered fool in Psalms denote one who is morally deficient.

For the Chief Musician. By David.

14 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
    They are corrupt.
    They have done abominable deeds.
    There is no one who does good.
Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men,
    to see if there were any who understood,
    who sought after God.
They have all gone aside.
    They have together become corrupt.
    There is no one who does good, no, not one.
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
    who eat up my people as they eat bread,
    and don’t call on Yahweh?
There they were in great fear,
    for God is in the generation of the righteous.
You frustrate the plan of the poor,
    because Yahweh is his refuge.
Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
    When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people,
    then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm 14

The Fool
(Psalm 53)

Heading

For the choir director. By David.

A Description of the Fool

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt. They do disgusting things.
There is no one who does good.
The Lord looks down from heaven on all the children of Adam
    to see if there is anyone who understands, anyone who seeks God.
Every one of them has turned away.
Altogether they have become rotten.
There is no one who does good.
There is not even one.

The Final Fate of the Fool

Don’t any of these evildoers understand,
those who devour my people as if they were eating bread?
They do not call on the Lord.
There they are! They are terrified
    because God is present in the circle of the righteous.
You try to put the plans of the poor to shame,
but the Lord is their refuge.

Closing Prayer

Who will provide salvation for Israel from Zion?[a]
When the Lord restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
