1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

7 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.

3 Todos se desviaram e juntamente se corromperam. Não há quem faça o bem, absolutamente ninguém!

4 Serão assim tão ignorantes, esses malfeitores,que devoram o meu povo como se comessem pão? Recusam chamar por Deus.

5 O terror dominará as suas vidas,porque Deus está com os que o buscam.

6 Vocês desprezam o direito dos pobres,mas o Senhor é o refúgio deles.

7 Que bom seria se já tivesse vindo de Siãoo livramento do povo de Deus! Que alegria será quando o Senhor vier libertar os presos do seu povoe salvar Israel!
