Salmos 144— comparação

1Bendito seja o SENHOR, minha rocha,

2meu amor leal, minha fortaleza,

3SENHOR, o que é o homem, para que te importes com ele?

4O homem é como um sopro.

5Abre os teus céus, SENHOR, e desce.

6Lança relâmpagos e espalha-os.

7Estende a tua mão lá do alto;

8cujas bocas falam engano,

9Cantarei uma nova canção a ti, ó Deus.

10Tu és aquele que dá salvação aos reis,

11Resgata-me e livra-me das mãos dos estrangeiros,

12Então os nossos filhos serão como plantas bem cultivadas,

13Nossos celeiros estão cheios, repletos de todo tipo de provisão.

14Nossos bois puxarão cargas pesadas.

15Feliz é o povo que está em tal situação.

1Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to battle—

2my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.

3Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

4Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

5Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

6Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.

7Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,

8whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.

10You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

14Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.

15Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.
