Psalms 53

Latin original · 7 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

← ch. 52ch. 54 →
📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Ge'ez Bible)
⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 53 here = Ps 52 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.
ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

53:0
In finem, pro Maëleth intelligentiae David. Dixit insipiens in corde suo : Non est Deus.
To the end, for Maeleth, of the understanding of David. The fool said in his heart, “There is no God.”
大衛的訓誨詩,交與伶長。調用「瑪希拉」。愚頑人心裡說:沒有神。
53:1
Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in iniquitatibus ; non est qui faciat bonum.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
愚頑人心裏說:沒有上帝。 他們都是邪惡,行了可憎惡的罪孽; 沒有一個人行善。
53:2
Deus de caelo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.
God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
上帝從天上垂看世人,要看有明白的沒有? 有尋求他的沒有?
53:3
Omnes declinaverunt ; simul inutiles facti sunt : non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
他們各人都退後,一同變為污穢; 並沒有行善的,連一個也沒有。
53:4
Nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis ?
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?
作孽的沒有知識嗎? 他們吞吃我的百姓如同吃飯一樣,並不求告上帝。
53:5
Deum non invocaverunt ; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor. Quoniam Deus dissipavit ossa eorum qui hominibus placent : confusi sunt, quoniam Deus sprevit eos.
There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.
他們在無可懼怕之處就大大害怕, 因為上帝把那安營攻擊你之人的骨頭散開了。 你使他們蒙羞,因為上帝棄絕了他們。
53:6
Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël ? cum converterit Deus captivitatem plebis suae, exsultabit Jacob, et laetabitur Israël.
Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。 上帝救回他被擄的子民那時, 雅各要快樂,以色列要歡喜。
