愚顽世人必遭 神弃绝(A)篇)

大卫的训诲诗,交给诗班长,调用“麻拉”。

53 愚顽人心里说:“没有 神。”

他们都是败坏,行了可憎的不义;

没有一个行善的。

 神从天上察看世人,

要看看有明慧的没有,

有寻求 神的没有,

他们各人都偏离了正道,一同变成污秽;

没有行善的,连一个也没有。

作恶的都是无知的吗?

他们吞吃我的子民好象吃饭一样,

并不求告 神。

他们在无可惊惧的时候,必大大震惊;

因为 神把那些扎营攻击你的人的骨头击散了;

他们蒙羞受辱,因为 神弃绝了他们。

但愿以色列的救恩从锡安而出;

 神给他子民带来复兴的时候(“ 神给他子民带来复兴的时候”或译:“ 神把他被掳的子民带回来的时候”),

雅各要快乐,以色列要欢喜。

53 1-2 Bilious and bloated, they gas,
    “God is gone.”
It’s poison gas—
    they foul themselves, they poison
Rivers and skies;
    thistles are their cash crop.
God sticks his head out of heaven.
    He looks around.
He’s looking for someone not stupid—
    one man, even, God-expectant,
    just one God-ready woman.

He comes up empty. A string
    of zeros. Useless, unshepherded
Sheep, taking turns pretending
    to be Shepherd.
The ninety and nine
    follow the one.

Don’t they know anything,
    all these predators?
Don’t they know
    they can’t get away with this,
Treating people like a fast-food meal
    over which they’re too busy to pray?

Night is coming for them, and nightmare—
    a nightmare they’ll never wake up from.
God will make hash of these squatters,
    send them packing for good.

Is there anyone around to save Israel?
    God turns life around.
Turned-around Jacob skips rope,
    turned-around Israel sings laughter.
