愚頑世人必遭 神棄絕(A)篇)

大衛的訓誨詩,交給詩班長,調用“麻拉”。

53 愚頑人心裡說:“沒有 神。”

他們都是敗壞,行了可憎的不義;

沒有一個行善的。

 神從天上察看世人,

要看看有明慧的沒有,

有尋求 神的沒有,

他們各人都偏離了正道,一同變成污穢;

沒有行善的,連一個也沒有。

作惡的都是無知的嗎?

他們吞吃我的子民好像吃飯一樣,

並不求告 神。

他們在無可驚懼的時候,必大大震驚;

因為 神把那些紮營攻擊你的人的骨頭擊散了;

他們蒙羞受辱,因為 神棄絕了他們。

但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出;

 神給他子民帶來復興的時候(“ 神給他子民帶來復興的時候”或譯:“ 神把他被擄的子民帶回來的時候”),

雅各要快樂,以色列要歡喜。

53 (0) For the leader. On machalat. A maskil of David:

(1) A brutish fool tells himself,
“There isn’t any God.”
Such people are depraved, all their deeds are vile,
not one of them does what is good.
(2) God looks out from heaven
upon the human race
to see if even one is wise,
if even one seeks God.
(3) Every one of them is unclean,
altogether corrupt;
not one of them does what is good,
not a single one.

(4) Won’t these evildoers ever learn?
They devour my people
as if they were eating bread,
and they never call on God!
(5) They will be gripped with terror,
even though now they are not afraid;
for God will scatter the bones
of him who is besieging you.
You are putting them to shame,
because God has rejected them.

(6) If only salvation for Isra’el
would come out of Tziyon!
When God restores his people’s fortunes,
what joy for Ya‘akov! what gladness for Isra’el!

Human Wickedness[a](A)

53 (B)Fools say to themselves,
    “There is no God.”
They are all corrupt,
    and they have done terrible things;
    there is no one who does what is right.

God looks down from heaven at people
    to see if there are any who are wise,
    any who worship him.
But they have all turned away;
    they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
    not a single one.

“Don't they know?” God asks.
    “Are these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
    and they never pray to me.”

But then they will become terrified,
    as they have never been before,
    for God will scatter the bones of the enemies of his people.
God has rejected them,
    and so Israel will totally defeat them.

How I pray that victory
    will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
    when God makes them prosperous again!
