Livro dos Salmos 37

Biblia Maria	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Salmo de Davi. Para servir de lembrança.	1 A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
2 Senhor, em vossa cólera não me repreendais, em vosso furor não me castigueis,	2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
3 porque as vossas flechas me atingiram, e desceu sobre mim a vossa mão.	3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
4 Vossa cólera nada poupou em minha carne, por causa de meu pecado nada há de intato nos meus ossos.	4 Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
5 Porque minhas culpas se elevaram acima de minha cabeça, como pesado fardo me oprimem em demasia.	5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
6 São fétidas e purulentas as chagas que a minha loucura me causou.	6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Estou abatido, extremamente recurvado, todo o dia ando cheio de tristeza.	7 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
8 Inteiramente inflamados os meus rins, não há parte sã em minha carne.	8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
9 Ao extremo enfraquecido e alquebrado, agitado o coração, lanço gritos lancinantes.	9 For the evildoers shall be cut off : but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
10 Senhor, diante de vós estão todos os meus desejos, e meu gemido não vos é oculto.	10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be : and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
11 Palpita-me o coração, abandonam-me as forças, e me falta a própria luz dos olhos.	11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
12 Amigos e companheiros fogem de minha chaga, e meus parentes permanecem longe.	12 The sinner shall watch the just man : and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
13 Os que odeiam a minha vida armam-me ciladas; os que me procuram perder ameaçam-me de morte; não cessam de planejar traições.	13 But the Lord shall laugh at him : for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
14 Eu, porém, sou como um surdo: não ouço; sou como um mudo que não abre os lábios.	14 The wicked have drawn out the sword : they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
15 Fiz-me como um homem que não ouve, e que não tem na boca réplicas a dar.	15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16 Porque é em vós, Senhor, que eu espero; vós me atendereis, Senhor, ó meu Deus.	16 Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
17 Eis meu desejo: “Não se alegrem com minha perda; não se engrandeçam quando meu pé resvala”;	17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
18 pois estou prestes a cair, e minha dor é permanente.	18 The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Sim, minha culpa eu a confesso, meu pecado me atormenta.	19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled :
20 Entretanto, são vigorosos e fortes os meus inimigos, e muitos os que me odeiam sem razão.	20 because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
21 Retribuem-me o mal pelo bem, hostilizam-me porque quero fazer o bem.	21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
22 Não me abandoneis, Senhor. Ó meu Deus, não fiqueis longe de mim.	22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land : but such as curse him shall perish.
23 Depressa, vinde em meu auxílio, Senhor, minha salvação!	23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
	24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
	25 I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
	26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
	27 Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
	28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints : they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
	29 But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
	30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom : and his tongue shall speak judgment.
	31 The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
	32 The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
	33 But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
	34 Expect the Lord and keep his way : and he will exalt thee to inherit the land : when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
	35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
	36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not : and I sought him and his place was not found.
	37 Keep innocence, and behold justice : for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
	38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together : the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
	39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
	40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them : and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
