Psalm 30 // Salmos 30


Please, meditate in this Psalm today. Make a little prayer before reading it. Then, read it slowly, thinking about every word and its meaning. Then, think about your life, what you have endured, how many victories and how many defeats, or even how many nights you have spent crying to the Lord and very soon your prayer was answered. Thank him for everything.
Psalm 30[a]
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b] Of David.
1 I will exalt you, LORD,
    for you lifted me out of the depths
    and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 LORD my God, I called to you for help,
    and you healed me.
3 You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
    you spared me from going down to the pit.
4 Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people;
    praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
    but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When I felt secure, I said,
    “I will never be shaken.”
7 LORD, when you favored me,
    you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
    I was dismayed.
8 To you, LORD, I called;
    to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
    if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me;
    LORD, be my help.”
11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
    you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
    LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
Por favor, medite nesse salmo hoje. Faça uma pequena oração antes de lê-lo. Então, leia-o lentamente, pensando em cada palavra e seu significado. Então, pense na sua vida, no que você tem passado, quantas vitórias e quantas derrotas você tem tido. Quantas noites você passou chorando e orando ao Senhor, e quanto tempo depois suas orações foram atendidas. Agradeça a Ele por tudo.
Salmo 30
Salmo. Cântico para a dedicação do templo[a]. Davídico.
1 Eu te exaltarei, SENHOR,
    pois tu me reergueste
e não deixaste que os meus inimigos
    se divertissem à minha custa.
2 SENHOR meu Deus, a ti clamei por socorro,
e tu me curaste.
3 SENHOR, tiraste-me da sepultura[b];
prestes a descer à cova, devolveste-me à vida.
4 Cantem louvores ao SENHOR,
    vocês, os seus fiéis;
louvem o seu santo nome.
5 Pois a sua ira só dura um instante,
    mas o seu favor dura a vida toda;
o choro pode persistir uma noite,
    mas de manhã irrompe a alegria.
6 Quando me senti seguro, disse:
    Jamais serei abalado!
7 SENHOR, com o teu favor,
    deste-me firmeza e estabilidade;[c]
mas, quando escondeste a tua face,
    fiquei aterrorizado.
8 A ti, SENHOR, clamei,
ao Senhor pedi misericórdia:
9 Se eu morrer[d], se eu descer à cova,
    que vantagem haverá?
Acaso o pó te louvará?
Proclamará a tua fidelidade?
10 Ouve, SENHOR, e tem misericórdia de mim;
    SENHOR, sê tu o meu auxílio.
11 Mudaste o meu pranto em dança,
a minha veste de lamento em veste de alegria,
12 para que o meu coração
    cante louvores a ti e não se cale.
SENHOR, meu Deus,
    eu te darei graças para sempre.

Arise and eat // Levante e coma

  He came to a broom bush, sat under it, and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough,  Lord ,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”   5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once, an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”   6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. 7 The angel of the  Lord  came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”   8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. (1 Kings 19: 4-8) How many times have you wished that this life were over? I have wished that many times. Sometimes it is just too painful, or sad, or hopeless, isn’t it? You know, Elijah...

Solitude and Silence // Solidão e silêncio

  In moments of peace and tranquility, it is useful to remember times of stress and struggle by Thomas à Kempis Whenever you are enjoying some time of peace and rest, it is useful to call to mind those times when you have been busy, overworked, or stressed. Whenever you are enjoying the calmness of solitude and silence, it is useful to reflect on those occasions when you have been assaulted with noise and activity. Indeed, calling such things to mind is a sure and effective way of learning to love and value the peaceful tranquility of your times of solitude! If you reflect upon how easily you can become anxious or worried, or how little it takes to perturb your soul, you will also realize that the achievement of true inner peace is not something which human efforts can ever achieve on their own. Left to yourself, how often you have fallen prey to anxiety, even when there is little or no real need to worry! How often, even when you are surro...

We are the Winners // Nós somos os vencedores

  The death of my cousin made me think about a few things. Yes, it was a sad thing. So unexpected. It got us all by surprise, which hurt. He was such a nice, joyful, and lively guy or man. He will certainly be missed. What we have here but the present. My mom and my other cousin spoke at the funeral. Yes, we have nothing here. It makes no sense at all to get attached to things of this world when at any moment we might leave it. Our days are numbered, but we don’t know how many we were given. How are you living your days? Sometimes we take it for granted because we are young or have health and may think that we have a whole life ahead of us. But do we really? Some live their lives as if all they have to do is party. As if parties were the most important thing in the world. Fun is part of life, so are sadness, problems and relationships, and hard times. Are we going to take something from this world when we die? I am pretty sure we a...
