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, be silent, O my soul, || For my hope [is] from Him.
Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, || Do not fret because of him || Who is making his way prosperous, || Because of a man doing wicked schemes.
For evildoers are cut off, || As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land.
Look to YHWH, and keep His way, || And He exalts you to possess the land, || In the wicked being cut off—you see!
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, || And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,
I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, || And I have waited for His word. My soul [is] for the Lord, || More than those watching for morning, || Watching for morning!
Also let none waiting on You be ashamed, || Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
Because for You, O YHWH, I have waited, || You answer, O Lord my God.
Look to YHWH—be strong, || And He strengthens your heart, || Indeed, look to YHWH!
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 expecting YHWH pass [to] power, || They raise up the pinion as eagles, || They run and are not fatigued, || They go on and do not faint!
O YHWH, favor us, || We have waited for You, || Be their arm, in the mornings, || Indeed, our salvation in time of adversity.
Even from antiquity [men] have not heard, || They have not given ear, || Eye has not seen a God except You, || He works for those waiting for Him.
Do not say, "I repay evil," || Wait for YHWH, and He delivers you.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the coming of the LORD; behold, the farmer expects the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until he may receive rain—early and latter; you also be patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the LORD has drawn near;
keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [resulting] in continuous life;
For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ—
