Salmos 53

1 Ao mestre de canto. Com instrumentos de corda. Hino de Davi,

2 quando os zifeus vieram dizer a Saul: "Davi encontra-se escondido entre nós".

3 Pela honra de vosso nome, salvai-me, meu Deus! Por vosso poder, fazei-me justiça.

4 Ó meu Deus, escutai minha oração, atendei às minhas palavras,

5 pois homens soberbos insurgiram-se contra mim; homens violentos odeiam a minha vida: não têm Deus em sua presença.

6 Mas eis que Deus vem em meu auxílio, o Senhor sustenta a minha vida.

7 Fazei recair o mal em meus adversários e, segundo vossa fidelidade, destruí-os.

8 De bom grado irei oferecer-vos um sacrifício, cantarei a glória de vosso nome, Senhor, porque é bom,

9 pois me livrou de todas as tribulações, e pude ver meus inimigos derrotados.

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.

1 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.

2 God looks down from heaven on the children of men,

to see if there are any who understood,

who seek after God.

3 Every one of them has gone back.

They have become filthy together.

There is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

who eat up my people as they eat bread,

and don’t call on God?

5 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.

6 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.
