Deus é nosso refúgio

God Provides for and Protects His People

1 God is our refuge and strength,

a very sufficient help in troubles.

God’s Protection in Times of Crisis

1 One who lives in the secret place* of the Most High

will lodge in the shadow of Shaddai.*

2 I will say to Yahweh, "You are my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust."

3 For he will deliver* you from the snare of the fowler,

from the plague of destruction.

4 With his feathers he will cover you,

and under his wings you can take refuge.

His faithfulness will be a shield and a buckler.*

Praise to God for His Deliverance

1 And he said:

"I love you, O Yahweh, my strength."

2 Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge,

my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my stronghold.

3 I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised,

and I was saved from my enemies.

Confidence in Yahweh

1 Protect me, O God,

for I take refuge in you.

A Declaration of Trust

1 Yahweh is my light and my salvation;

whom shall I fear?

Yahweh is the refuge of my life;

of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When evildoers drew near against me to eat my flesh—

my adversaries and my enemies who drew near to me—

they themselves stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army encamp against me,

my heart will not fear.

Though war arise against me,

even in this I will remain confident.

Yahweh Is a Fortress

1 In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge.

Let me not be put to shame ever.

Deliver me by your righteousness.

2 Incline your ear to me.

Quickly deliver me.

Become my rock of refuge,

a fortified keep* to save me.

3 For you are my rock and my fortress.

So, for the sake of your name,

lead me and guide me.

4 Bring me out of the net that they have secretly set for me,

for you are my refuge.

5 Into your hand I commit my spirit.

You have redeemed me, O Yahweh, faithful God.*

3 Be for me a rock of refuge to resort to always;

you have ordained* to save me,

because you are my rock and my fortress.

8 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh

than to trust in humans.*

9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh

than to trust princes.

5 Only for God wait in silence, O my soul,

because my hope is from him.

6 Only he is my rock and my salvation,

my high stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;

God* is my strong rock, my refuge.

8 Trust him at all times, O people;

pour out before him your heart.

God is a refuge for us. Selah

17 O my strength, to you I will give praise,

because God is my high stronghold,

my God of loyal love.

God’s Eternity and Human Frailty

1 O Lord, you have been our help* in all generations.*

2 Before the mountains were born

and you brought forth the earth and the world,

even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

9 And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of distress.

10 And those who know your name will trust in you,

for you do not forsake those who seek you, O Yahweh.

7 How precious is your loyal love, O God,

and the children of humankind

take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

7 Yahweh is good—a refuge in the day of distress;

he knows those who take refuge in him.

4 For you have been a refuge to the poor,

a refuge to the needy in his distress,

a shelter from the rainstorm,

a shade from the heat.

For the breath of the ruthless was like a rainstorm against a wall,*

26 In the fear of Yahweh, there is confidence of strength,

and for his children, there will be refuge.

29 A stronghold for the upright is the way of Yahweh,

but ruin belongs to evildoers.*
