世人的邪恶

大卫的诗,交给乐长。

14 愚昧人心里想:“没有上帝。”
他们全然败坏,行为邪恶,
无人行善。
耶和华从天上俯视人间,
看有没有明智者,
有没有寻求上帝的人。
人们都偏离正路,
一同堕落;
没有人行善,
一个也没有!
恶人吞吃我的百姓如同吃饭,
他们不求告耶和华。
难道他们无知吗?
但他们终必充满恐惧,
因为上帝站在义人当中。
你们恶人使困苦人的计划落空,
但耶和华是他们的避难所。
愿以色列的拯救来自锡安!
耶和华救回祂被掳的子民时,
雅各要欢欣,以色列要快乐。

God rules the world

14 Only fools say to themselves, ‘There is no God.’
People like that do bad and evil things.
    None of them do things that are good and right.
The Lord is looking down from heaven.
He looks at the people of the world,
    to see if there are any wise people among them.
He looks to see if anyone wants to know God.
But everyone has turned away from God.
    They have all become evil.
Not even one person does things that are right!
Will those evil people never learn?
They destroy my people,
    as if they are eating a meal.
They never pray to the Lord.
Look at them! Now they are very afraid!
    They see that God is with the people who obey him.
You wicked people tried to bring shame to poor people.
But the Lord keeps poor people safe.
The Lord is the one who can save Israel's people.
    Please Lord, come now from your home in Zion!
When the Lord makes his people strong again,
    Jacob's descendants will be happy!
Yes, Israel's people will shout with joy![a]

Footnotes

  1. 14:7 God gave to Jacob a new name, ‘Israel’. So Jacob's descendants and Israel's people mean the same people, the Lord's people.
