Salmos 7
1 Senhor, meu Deus, em ti confio: salva-me de todos os que me perseguem, e livra-me;
Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
2 Para que elle não arrebate a minha alma, como leão, despedaçando-a, sem que haja quem a livre;
If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
3 Senhor, meu Deus, se eu fiz isto, se ha perversidade nas minhas mãos,
Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
4 Se paguei com o mal áquelle que tinha paz comigo (antes livrei ao que me opprimia sem causa):
if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
5 Persiga o inimigo a minha alma e alcance-a, calque aos pés a minha vida sobre a terra, e reduza a pó a minha gloria. (Selah)
allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
6 Levanta-te Senhor, na tua ira; exalta-te por causa do furor dos meus oppressores; e desperta por mim para o juizo que ordenaste.
But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
7 Assim te rodeará o ajuntamento de povos; por causa d'elles pois volta-te para as alturas.
Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
8 O Senhor julgará aos povos; julga-me, Senhor, conforme a minha justiça e conforme a integridade que ha em mim.
Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
9 Tenha já fim a malicia dos impios; mas estabeleça-se o justo; pois tu, ó justo Deus, provas os corações e os rins
God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
10 O meu escudo é de Deus, que salva os rectos de coração.
God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
11 Deus é um juiz justo, um Deus que se ira todos os dias.
You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
12 Se elle se não converter, amolará a sua espada; já tem armado o seu arco, e está apparelhado.
Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
13 E já para elle preparou armas mortaes; e porá em obra as suas settas inflammadas contra os perseguidores.
You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
14 Eis que elle está com dôres de perversidade; concebeu trabalhos, e parirá mentiras,
Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
15 Cavou um poço e o fez fundo, e caiu na cova que fez.
But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
16 A sua obra cairá sobre a sua cabeça; e a sua violencia descerá sobre a sua mioleira.
They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
17 Eu louvarei ao Senhor segundo a sua justiça, e cantarei louvores ao nome do Senhor altissimo.
I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
