A maldade dos seres humanos

Ao diretor do coro. Salmo de Davi.

14 O insensato diz no seu coração:
    “Não preciso levar em conta a Deus na minha vida”.
As suas ações são corruptas e detestáveis.
    Não há nenhum deles que faça o bem.

Do alto do céu, o SENHOR olhou para os seres humanos,
    para ver se havia alguém sábio,
    alguém que procurasse por Deus.
Mas todos tinham se afastado de Deus
    tornando-se perversos.
Não havia ninguém que fizesse o bem.
    Ninguém!

Será que os maus nunca aprendem?
    Eles devoram o meu povo como se fosse pão,
    e nunca procuram o SENHOR!
Os que fazem o mal ficarão cheios de terror
    quando Deus os castigar,
    porque Deus está sempre do lado dos justos.
Os maus tentam sempre frustrar os planos dos necessitados,
    mas o SENHOR é a sua proteção.

Que a salvação de Israel
    venha daquele que habita no monte Sião!
Quando o SENHOR restaurar a sorte do seu povo,
    Jacó será feliz,
    e Israel será alegre!

Psalm 14

For the music leader. Of David.

14 Fools say in their hearts, There is no God.
    They are corrupt and do evil things;
    not one of them does anything good.

The Lord looks down from heaven on humans
    to see if anyone is wise,
    to see if anyone seeks God,
        but all of them have turned bad.
        Everyone is corrupt.
        No one does good—
        not even one person!

Are they dumb, all these evildoers,
    devouring my people
    like they are eating bread
        but never calling on the Lord?

Count on it:[a] they will be in utter panic
    because God is with the righteous generation.
You evildoers may humiliate
    the plans of those who suffer,
        but the Lord is their refuge.

Let Israel’s salvation come out of Zion!
        When the Lord changes
        his people’s circumstances for the better,
        Jacob will rejoice;
        Israel will celebrate!

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)

    there is no one who does good,(H)

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!
