The wicked think,“ God isn’t watching us! He has closed his eyes and won’t even see what we do!”

他心里说：“神竟忘记了；他掩面永不观看。”

他心里说：“上帝竟忘记了，上帝转脸永不观看。”

他心里说：“神竟忘记了，神转脸永不观看。”

他们自言自语：“上帝忘记了，祂掩面不理这些事！”

他心里说：“神已经忘记了，他已经掩面，永远不看。”

他心里说：“神已经忘记了！神隐藏了他的脸，永远不看。”

他心裏說：神竟忘記了；他掩面永不觀看。

他心裏說：「上帝竟忘記了，上帝轉臉永不觀看。」

他心裏說：「神竟忘記了，神轉臉永不觀看。」

他們自言自語：「上帝忘記了，祂掩面不理這些事！」

他心裡說：“神已經忘記了，他已經掩面，永遠不看。”

他心裏說：『上帝忘了；他掩了面，永不看了。』

他心裡說：「神已經忘記了！神隱藏了他的臉，永遠不看。」

意謂上帝忘之、永蒙厥面、而弗視兮、

惡者謂上帝不及知兮、蒙蔽厥面、永不鑒斯兮、

心中以為天主忘卻、遮掩面目、永不觀察、

謂天主兮健忘。既揜顏兮不見。我隱惡兮奚彰。

He says to himself,“ God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.”

Sinful people say to themselves,“ God will never notice. He covers his face. He never sees us.”

He says in his heart,“ God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”

He says to himself,“ God has forgotten; he hides his face and will never see.”

He says to himself,“ God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”

He has said in his heart,“ God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see.”

He saith in his heart: God hath forgotten; He hideth his face, he will never see it.

He says to himself,“ God has forgotten; He hides His face and will never see.”

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see[ it].

He says to himself,“ God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.”

He says in his heart,“ God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”

“ What does God know?” they ask.“ Does the Most High even know what’s happening?”

They think,“ Nothing bad will ever happen to us! We will be free of trouble forever!”

“ The Lord isn’t looking,” they say,“ and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care.”

Then he said to me,“ The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are very, very great. The entire land is full of murder; the city is filled with injustice. They are saying,‘ The Lord doesn’t see it! The Lord has abandoned the land!’

Then the Lord said to me,“ Son of man, have you seen what the leaders of Israel are doing with their idols in dark rooms? They are saying,‘ The Lord doesn’t see us; he has deserted our land!’”

But some of the teachers of religious law who were sitting there thought to themselves,

When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong.

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself,“ If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!”

But you reply,‘ That’s why God can’t see what I am doing! How can he judge through the thick darkness?For thick clouds swirl about him, and he cannot see us. He is way up there, walking on the vault of heaven.’

They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret.“ Who will ever notice?” they ask.
