Esperar no Senhor

22 You have purified your hearts by obeying the truth. You have genuine affection for the brothers and sisters. So always love one another intensely extremelydeeply from the heart.

23 You have been given a new birth, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and endures.

24 All people are like grass. All their glory is like the blossom of a flower. The grass withers and the flower drops off.

25 But the word of our God abides forever. This is the word of good tidings that was preached to you.

5 I wait for Jehovah, I do wait. And in his word I do hope.

6 I wait for Jehovah more than the watchmen for the morning. Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning.

9 Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness. He is longsuffering patient toward you. He does not wish that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

1 »The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

2 »Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

3 »The foolish took no oil with their lamps.

4 »The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 »They all slept, because the bridegroom delayed his arrival.

6 »There was a shout at midnight. Here is the bridegroom! Come meet him.

7 »The virgins awoke and trimmed their lamps.

8 »All the foolish virgins said to the wise: Give us your oil, for our lamps are going out.

9 »But the wise answered: There will not be enough for both of us. Go to the dealers and buy oil for yourself.

10 »While they were away, the bridegroom came. They that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was shut.

11 »Later the other virgins came, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 »But he told them: I do not know you.

13 »Watch therefore, for you do not know the day or the hour.

1 I waited patiently for Jehovah and he bent down to me and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet upon a rock and made me stand erect.

3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see, respect and trust in Jehovah.

4 Blessed is the man who has made Jehovah his security. He has not turned to the proud, or to those who turn aside into falsehood.

5 O Jehovah my God, Many are the wonders that you have done and your thoughts toward us. None can compare with you. If I would declare and teach about them, they would be too numerous to report.

6 You have not desired sacrifice and meal offering. You have opened my ears. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.

7 Then I said: »Here I come! In the scroll of the book it is written about me. (Luke 3:21)

8 »I am pleased to do your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart.

9 »I announced the good news of righteousness in the great congregation. I will not close my lips. You know that, O Jehovah.

10 »I have not hidden your righteousness deep in my heart. I have been outspoken about your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not hidden your mercy and your truth from the great congregation.«

11 Do not withhold your compassion from me, O Jehovah. May your mercy and your truth always protect me.

12 Countless evils have surrounded me. My sins have caught up with me so that I can no longer see. They outnumber the hairs on my head. I have lost heart lost strength, courage and motivation.

13 O Jehovah, please rescue me! Come quickly to help me, O Jehovah!

14 Let all those who seek to end my life be confused and put to shame. Let those who want my downfall be turned back and disgraced.

20 We wait for Jehovah for he is our help and our shield.

21 Our heart rejoices in him, for we trust in his holy name.

22 Let your loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, just as we have hoped and waited patiently in you.

5 I will wait calmly for God alone, because my hope comes from him.

5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart. Do not lean on your own understanding.

6 In all your ways acknowledge recognize Him and He will make your paths straight.

18 Jehovah is waiting to be kind to you. He rises to have compassion on you. Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

31 »Those who hope in Jehovah will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary! They will walk and not be faint.«

1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the stronghold of my life. Who is there to be afraid of?

2 Evildoers accosted me to tear me to pieces. My opponents and enemies stumbled and fell.

3 Even though an army sets up camp against me, my heart will not be afraid. Even though a war breaks out against me, I will trust in Jehovah.

4 I have asked one thing from Jehovah. This I will seek: to live in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to look at Jehovahs beauty and search for an answer in his temple.

5 He hides me in his shelter when there is trouble. He keeps me hidden in his tent. He puts me high on a rock.

6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies who surround me. I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes I will sing praises to Jehovah.

7 Hear O Jehovah when I cry with my voice. Be gracious to me and answer me.

8 You said: »Seek my face look for memy presence.« My heart said to you, »O Jehovah, I will look for you.«

9 Do not hide your face from me. Do not angrily turn me away. You have been my help. Do not leave me! Do not abandon me, O God of my salvation!

10 Even if my father and mother abandon forsake me, Jehovah will take care of me.

11 Teach me your way, O Jehovah. Lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

12 Do not surrender me to the will of my opponents. False witnesses have risen against me. They breathe out violence.

13 I believe that I will see the goodness of Jehovah in this world of the living.

3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in our tribulations knowing that tribulation produces endurance.

8 You also be patient. Make your hearts firm, for the coming of the Lord is near.
