1. The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist." All have strayed, all are perverted, there is no one who does good.

2. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the race of Adam, to see if there are any who seek God and act wisely.

3. They have all turned aside: corrupt - all of them alike.

4. Will they ever learn - these doers of evil? For they devour my people, - that is their food - and do not call upon the Lord.

5. But suddenly terror strikes them: God was on the side of the just!

6. You may confound the hope of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.

7. Oh would that I see Israel's salvation coming from Zion! When the Lord brings home the exiles, what joy it will be for Jacob, what happiness for Israel!





“A pessoa que nunca medita é como alguém que nunca se olha no espelho e, assim, não se cuida e sai desarrumada. A pessoa que medita e dirige seus pensamentos a Deus, que é o espelho de sua alma, procura conhecer seus defeitos, tenta corrigi-los, modera seus impulsos e põe em ordem sua consciência.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
