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.
God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being;
he is the one whom I confidently expect to help me.
Be quiet in Yahweh’s presence, and wait patiently for him to do what you want him to do.
Do not be bothered/upset when what evil men do is successful,
when they are able to do the wicked things that they plan.
Some day Yahweh will get rid of wicked people,
but those who trust in Yahweh will live safely in the land that he has given to them.
Be patient and trust that Yahweh will help you,
and ◄walk on his paths/do what he wants you to do►.
If you do that, he will honor you by giving you the land that he promised,
and when he gets rid of the wicked, you will see it happen.
I waited patiently for Yahweh to help me,
and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.
Yahweh has said that he would help/rescue me;
I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.
I wait for Yahweh to help me
more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn;
yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!
Do not allow any of those who trust in you to be disappointed/disgraced.
Cause those who ◄act treacherously toward/try to deceive► others to be disappointed/disgraced.
But Yahweh, I trust in you.
My Lord God, you will answer me.
So trust in Yahweh, all of you!
Be strong and courageous,
and wait expectantly for him to help you!
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 trust in Yahweh will become strong again;
it will be as though they will soar/fly high like [SIM] eagles do.
They will run for a long time and not become weary;
they will walk long distances and not faint.
Yahweh, be kind to us,
because we have patiently waited for you to help us.
Enable us to be strong every day,
and rescue us when we have troubles.
Since ◄long ago/the world began►, no one [SYN] has ever seen or heard about a God like you;
you help those who ◄depend on/trust in► you.
Do not say, "I will do evil to those who do evil to me;"
wait for Yahweh to do something about it, and he will ◄help you/do what is right►.
So, my fellow believers, although rich people cause you to suffer, be patient until the Lord Jesus Christ comes back. Remember that when farmers plant a field, they wait for their valuable crops to grow. They must wait patiently for the rain that comes at the planting season and for more rain that comes just before the harvest season. They wait for the crops to grow and mature before they can harvest them. Similarly, you also should wait patiently and trust the Lord Jesus firmly, because he is coming back soon and will judge all people fairly.
Keep conducting your lives in a way that is appropriate for those whom God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will act mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until the time when we begin living eternally with him.
But remember that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to return from there.
