愚頑人心裡說沒有神

¹（大衛的訓誨詩，交與伶長。調用麻哈拉。）愚頑人心裡說：沒有　神。他們都是邪惡，行了可憎惡的罪孽；沒有一個人行善。For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

²神從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有？有尋求他的沒有？God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

³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。All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

但願救恩從錫安而出

⁶但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。　神救回他被擄的子民那時，雅各要快樂，以色列要歡喜。Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

不公義的審判官

¹（大衛的金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。）世人哪，你們默然不語，真合公義嗎？施行審判，豈按正直嗎？For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

順服在上掌權的

¹在上有權柄的，人人當順服他，因為沒有權柄不是出於　神的。凡掌權的都是　神所命的。Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.

²所以，抗拒掌權的就是抗拒　神的命；抗拒的必自取刑罰。Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

³作官的原不是叫行善的懼怕，乃是叫作惡的懼怕。你願意不懼怕掌權的嗎？你只要行善，就可得他的稱讚；For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.

⁴因為他是　神的用人，是與你有益的。你若作惡，卻當懼怕；因為他不是空空地佩劍；他是　神的用人，是伸冤的，刑罰那作惡的。For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.

⁵所以，你們必須順服，不但是因為刑罰，也是因為良心。Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.

當納糧的給他納糧

⁶你們納糧，也為這個緣故；因他們是　神的差役，常常特管這事。This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.

⁷凡人所當得的，就給他。當得糧的，給他納糧；當得稅的，給他上稅；當懼怕的，懼怕他；當恭敬的，恭敬他。Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

愛就完全了律法

⁸凡事都不可虧欠人，惟有彼此相愛要常以為虧欠，因為愛人的就完全了律法。Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

⁹像那不可姦淫，不可殺人，不可偷盜，不可貪婪，或有別的誡命，都包在愛人如己這一句話之內了。The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
