Psalms 42
1 Deer pant, desiring to drink water from a stream [when there is a drought] (OR, [when they are being pursued by hunters].) In the same way [SIM], God, I need you very much.
Assim como o cervo brama pelas correntes das águas, assim brama a minha alma por ti, ó Deus!
2 I desire to have fellowship with [MET] you, the all-powerful God. [I wonder], “When will I be able to go [back to the temple in Israel] and worship in your presence again?”
A minha alma tem sede de Deus, do Deus vivo: quando entrarei e me apresentarei ante a face de Deus?
3 Every day and every night I cry; [it is as though] the only thing I have to drink is my tears; and while I do that, my enemies are continually asking me, “Why does your god not [help you]?”
As minhas lágrimas servem-me de mantimento de dia e de noite, enquanto me dizem constantemente: Onde está o teu Deus?
4 I am very distressed [IDM] as I remember when I went with the crowd of people to the temple [in Jerusalem], leading them as we walked along; we were all shouting joyfully and singing to thank God [for what he had done]; we were a large group who were celebrating.
Quando me lembro disto, dentro de mim derramo a minha alma: pois eu havia ido com a multidão; fui com eles à casa de Deus, com voz de alegria e louvor, com a multidão que festejava.
5 So [I say to] myself, “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to help me], and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me.”
Porque estás abatida, ó alma minha, e porque te perturbas em mim? Espera em Deus, pois ainda o louvarei pela salvação da sua face.
6 [But now, Yahweh], I am very discouraged [IDM], so I think about you, even from where the Jordan [River] gushes out from the bottom of Hermon [Mountain] and from Mizar Mountain.
Ó meu Deus, dentro de mim a minha alma está abatida; portanto lembro-me de ti desde a terra do Jordão, e desde os hermonitas, desde o pequeno monte.
7 But here, the great sorrow that I feel is like water that you send down [MET]; [it is like] a waterfall that tumbles down and floods over me.
Um abismo chama outro abismo; ao ruído das tuas catadupas: todas as tuas ondas e as tuas vagas tem passado sobre mim.
8 Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me, and each night I sing to him and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.
Contudo o Senhor mandará a sua misericórdia de dia, e de noite a sua canção estará comigo, e a oração ao Deus da minha vida.
9 I say to God, [who is like] an [overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET], “It seems that you have forgotten me. I (mourn/cry) constantly because my enemies act cruelly toward me” [RHQ].
Direi a Deus, minha Rocha: Porque te esqueceste de mim? porque ando lamentando por causa da opressão do inimigo?
10 They make fun of me constantly; they continually ask, “Why does your god not help you?” [RHQ] And when they insult me [like that], [it is like] wounds that I feel even in my bones.
Com ferida mortal em meus ossos me afrontam os meus adversários, quando todo o dia me dizem: Onde está o teu Deus?
11 But [I think, ] “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I will confidently expect God [to help me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.”
Porque estás abatida, ó alma minha, e porque te perturbas dentro de mim? espera em Deus, pois ainda o louvarei, o qual é a salvação da minha face, e o meu Deus
