Palavras de consolo
A Bíblia é repleta de palavras de consolo para os aflitos. Deus está perto dos que sofrem e promete enxugar toda lágrima, renovar a esperança e restaurar o coração partido.
Deus está conosco
O Senhor é refúgio e fortaleza. Mesmo no vale da sombra da morte, não precisamos temer — Ele está ao nosso lado para nos consolar.
Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines
where I might be killed,
I will not be afraid of anything
because you are with me.
You protect me like a shepherd protects his sheep.
He uses his club and his walking stick to protect them from being attacked by wild animals.
A psalm written by David
Yahweh is the one who gives light to my soul/spirit and the one who saves me,
so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone.
Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge,
so I will never be afraid.
Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed;
yes, he will be like a shelter for them when they have trouble.
There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh;
this is the one thing that I desire:
That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life,
and see that Yahweh is wonderful
and inquire what he wants me to do.
He will protect me when I have troubles;
he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent.
He will set me safely ◄on a high rock/in a secure place►.
Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect to help me;
I have trusted in you since I was young.
Consolação e esperança
Deus consola os humildes e exalta os abatidos. Ele nunca nos desamparará.
It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed."
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’"
Do not forget [RHQ] that I have commanded you to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, and do not be discouraged, because I, Yahweh, your God, will ◄be with/help► you wherever you go."
He exalts those who are humble,
and causes those who mourn to be joyful (OR, safe, prosperous).
We pray that our Lord Jesus Christ himself will encourage you and cause you to continue doing and speaking what is good.
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect to receive the eternal things that he has promised to give to us as a result of Christ acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve.
Descanso e renovação
Bem-aventurados os que choram, pois serão consolados. A Bíblia nos convida a descansar nos braços do Pai e encontrar paz para a alma.
God is pleased with people who mourn because they have sinned;
they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
Therefore, realizing that God has great power [MTY] to punish proud people, humble yourselves, in order that he may honor you at the time that he has determined. Because he takes care of you, let him take care of all the things that you are worried/concerned about.
Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me
in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me,
and as a result they will be ashamed.
Cause me to be comforted/encouraged by knowing that you faithfully love me,
like you said to me that you would do.
You will be able to lie down at night and not be afraid of anything,
and you will sleep peacefully.
