Esperar em Deus
Esperar em Deus não é passividade — é confiança ativa no Senhor que age no tempo perfeito. Os que esperam nele não serão confundidos nem envergonhados.
Esperança em Deus
Descanse somente em Deus, ó minha alma, pois dele vem a minha esperança. Ele é rocha e salvação — não serei abalado.
For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,
For my hope is from Him.
Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him;
Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land. [Is 57:13c]
Wait for and expect the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
[In the end] when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
God Sustains His Servant.
I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord;
And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
I wait [patiently] for the Lord, my soul [expectantly] waits,
And in His word do I hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning;
More than the watchmen for the morning.
Indeed, none of those who [expectantly] wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who turn away from what is right and deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed (humiliated, embarrassed).
For in You, O Lord, I hope;
You will answer, O Lord my God.
Wait for and confidently expect the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.
Confiança na espera
O Senhor é bom para os que esperam nele. O olho não viu o que Deus preparou para os que o amam e o aguardam.
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him]
Will gain new strength and renew their power;
They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
They will walk and not grow tired. [Heb 12:1-3]
O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited [expectantly] for You.
Be the arm of Your servants every morning [that is, their strength and their defense],
Our salvation also in the time of trouble.
For from days of old no one has heard, nor has ear perceived,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who works and acts in behalf of the one who [gladly] waits for Him.
Do not say, "I will repay evil";
Wait [expectantly] for the Lord, and He will rescue and save you. [Deut 32:35; 2 Sam 16:12; Rom 12:17-19; 1 Thess 5:15; 1 Pet 3:9]
Exhortation
So wait patiently, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits [expectantly] for the precious harvest from the land, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains. You too, be patient; strengthen your hearts [keep them energized and firmly committed to God], because the coming of the Lord is near.
and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life.
But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
