A corrupção do homem. Sua redenção provém de Deus

Salmo de Davi para o cantor-mor

14 Disseram os néscios no seu coração: Não Deus. Têm-se corrompido, fazem-se abomináveis em suas obras, não ninguém que faça o bem.

O Senhor olhou desde os céus para os filhos dos homens, para ver se havia algum que tivesse entendimento e buscasse a Deus. Desviaram-se todos e juntamente se fizeram imundos; não quem faça o bem, não sequer um.

Não terão conhecimento os obreiros da iniquidade, que comem o meu povo como se comessem pão? Eles não invocam ao Senhor. Ali se acharam em grande pavor, porque Deus está na geração dos justos. Vós envergonhais o conselho dos pobres, porquanto o Senhor é o seu refúgio.

Oh! Se de Sião tivera já vindo a redenção de Israel! Quando o Senhor fizer voltar os cativos do seu povo, se regozijará Jacó e se alegrará Israel.

Psalm 14(A)

For the director of music. Of David.

The fool[a] says in his heart,
    “There is no God.”(B)
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
    there is no one who does good.

The Lord looks down from heaven(C)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(D)
    any who seek God.(E)
All have turned away,(F) all have become corrupt;(G)
    there is no one who does good,(H)
    not even one.(I)

Do all these evildoers know nothing?(J)

They devour my people(K) as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.(L)
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge.(M)

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(N)
    When the Lord restores(O) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

But the Lord is his (F)refuge.
