O Senhor é o meu pastor
O Salmo 23 é a expressão máxima da confiança em Deus como Pastor. Jesus se declarou o Bom Pastor que conhece suas ovelhas, cuida delas e dá a própria vida por elas.
O Senhor é o meu Pastor
Davi declarou com confiança que o Senhor é seu pastor e nada lhe faltará. Ele nos guia, nos restaura e nos conduz em caminhos de justiça.
The psalm of David. The Lord governeth me, and nothing shall fail to me;
The psalm of David. The Lord governeth me, and nothing shall fail to me;
in the place of pasture there he hath set me. He nourished me on the water of refreshing;
he converted my soul. He led me forth on the paths of rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; for his name.
Lord, make thou safe thy people, and bless thou thine heritage; and rule thou them, and enhance thou them till into without end.
O Bom Pastor
Jesus é o Bom Pastor que conhece suas ovelhas pelo nome. Ele dá a vida por elas, as protege e nenhuma pode ser arrebatada de sua mão.
I am a good shepherd; a good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
I am a good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.
As the Father hath known me, I know the Father; and I put my life for my sheep.
I have other sheep, that be not of this fold, and it behooveth me to bring them together, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be made one fold and one shepherd.
But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
To this the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And when he hath done out [or hath sent out] his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep pursue him; for they know his voice.
For ye were as sheep erring, but ye be now turned to the shepherd [or but ye be converted now to the shepherd], and bishop of your souls.
And when the prince of shepherds shall appear, ye shall receive the crown of glory, that may never fade.
O cuidado pastoral de Deus
Como pastor terno e forte, Deus carrega os cordeiros nos braços e guia com cuidado as ovelhas que amamentam.
Lo! the Lord God shall come in strength, and his arm shall hold lordship; lo! his meed is with him, and his work is before him.
As a shepherd he shall feed his flock, he shall gather [the] lambs in his arms, and he shall raise in his bosom; he shall bear [the] sheep with lamb.
