聖人無常心,以百姓心為心。善者吾善之,不善者吾亦善之,德善。信者吾信之,不信者吾亦信之,德信。聖人在天下怵怵,為天下渾其心。百姓皆注其耳目,聖人皆孩之。
- Chinese :
《道德經》: 聖人無常心,以百姓心為心。善者,吾善之;不善者,吾亦善之;德善。信者,吾信之;不信者,吾亦信之;德信。聖人在天下,歙歙為天下渾其心,百姓皆注其耳目,聖人皆孩之。
《老子河上公章句·任德》: 聖人無常心,以百姓心為心。善者吾善之,不善者吾亦善之,德善。信者吾信之,不信者吾亦信之,德信。聖人在天下怵怵,為天下渾其心。百姓皆注其耳目,聖人皆孩之。
《馬王堆·老子甲德經》: □□□□□,以百□之心為□。善者,善之;不善者,亦善□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□信也。□□之在天下,歙歙焉為天下渾心,百姓皆屬耳目焉,聖人皆咳之。
《馬王堆·老子乙德經》: □人恆無心,以百省之心為心。善□□□□□□□□□□善也。信者,信之;不信者,亦信之;德信也。聖人之在天下也歙歙焉□□□□□□生皆注其□□□□□□□□。 (Ⅰ) - He Shanggong (English) :
The saint has no constant mind. He makes the people’s mind his mind. What is good, that I think good. What is not good, that I also think not good. Te is good. The believable, I believe it. The unbelievable, I also believe it. Te is belief. The saint lives full of fear within the empire. Because of the empire he obscures his mind. All the people use their ears and eyes. The saint treats them all as children. (Ⅱ) - Wing-Tsit Chan (1963) :
The sage has no fixed (personal) ideas. He regards the people's ideas as his own.
I treat those who are good with goodness. And I also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained.
I am honest to those who are honest, And I am also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.
The sage, in the government of his empire, has no subjective viewpoint. His mind forms a harmonious whole with that of his people. The all lend their eyes and ears, And he treats them all as infants. (Ⅲ) - Ellen Marie Chen (1989) :
The sage has no set mind (ch'ang hsin),
He takes the mind of the people as his mind.
The good (shan) I am good to them,
The not good I am also good to them.
This is the goodness of nature (te).
The trustworthy (hsin) I trust them,
The not trustworthy I also trust them.
This is the trust of nature (te).
The sage in the world,
Mixes (hun) the minds (hsin) of all.
The people lift up their eyes and ears,
The sage treats them all like children. (Ⅳ) - Ch'u Ta-Kao (1904) :
The Sage has no self to call his own.
He makes the self of the people his self.
To the good I act with goodness;
To the bad I also act with godness:
Thus goodness is attained.
To the faithful I act with faith;
To the faithless I also act with faith:
Thus faith is attained.
The Sage lives in the world in concord, and rules ovet the world in simplicity.
Yet what all the people turn their eyes and ears to,
The Sage looks after as a mother does her children. (Ⅴ) - World by world translation :

The best ruler has no personal ideas
And what the people think is what he/she thinks.
He/She is good to people that are good.
He/She is also good to people that are not good.
It is the goodness typical of the Way server.
He/She trusts people that are trustworthy.
He/She also trusts people that are not trustworthy.
It is the trust typical of the Way server.
The best ruler gives each breath of his/her life to the world.
He/She holds to just a simple mind,
But is looked up to and listened to.
He/She takes the whole world to be his/her children. (Ⅶ) - Lynn (2004) :
The sage has no constant heart/mind [changxin] but takes the heart/mind of the common folk as his heart/mind.
The good I regard as good;
those who are not good I also regard as good.
This is to transform goodness into virtue.
The trustworthy I trust;
those who are not trustworthy I also trust.
This is to transform trust into virtue.
The sage resides among all under Heaven with perfect equanimity and impartiality and for the sake of all under Heaven merges his heart/mind with theirs.
[The common folk all fix their ears and eyes on him,]
And the sage treats them all as his children. (Ⅷ)
