1 Ao mestre do coro. Salmo. De Davide.	1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself.
2 Bem-aventurado o que cuida do necessitado e do pobre: o Senhor o salvará no dia mau.	2 Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
3 O Senhor o guardará e lhe conservará a vida, e o fará feliz na terra, e não o entregará ao desejo dos seus inimigos.	3 May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.
4 O Senhor lhe dará auxílio no leito da dor; na sua enfermidade, tirar-lhe-á todo o seu padecer.	4 May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.
5 Eu disse: Senhor, compadece-te de mim; sara-me, porque pequei contra ti.	5 I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”
6 Os meus inimigos dizem mal de mim: "Quando morrerá e perecerá o seu nome?"	6 My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?
7 O que vem visitar-me fala de coisas vãs; o seu coração acumula iniquidades, e, saindo, fala (contra mim).	7 And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.
8 Todos os meus inimigos à uma murmuram contra mim; têm contra mim funestos pensamentos:	8 All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.
9 "Um a peste maligna penetrou nele", e "caiu de cama, nunca mais se levantará".	9 They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?
10 Até o meu amigo, em quem eu confiava, que comia o meu pão, levantou contra mim o seu calcanhar.	10 For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.
11 Tu, pois. Senhor, tem compaixão de mim e levanta-me, e eu lhes darei (o que merecem).	11 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.
12 Nisto conhecerei eu que tu me me favoreces, se o meu inimigo se não alegrar à rainha custa.	12 By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.
13 Antes, ao contrário, me conservarás incólume e me porás na tua presença para sempre.	13 But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.
14 Seja bendito o Senhor, Deus de Israel! pelos séculos dos séculos. Assim seja! Assim seja!	14 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.
