3° Domingo do Tempo Pascal Ano B - Salmo 4

The song "3° Domingo do Tempo Pascal Ano B - Salmo 4" by Canal Salmodiai (Salmodiai Ao Nosso Deus) is a musical rendition of Psalm 4, which is a prayer for divine assistance and a declaration of trust in God. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of spirituality and reliance on a higher power for guidance and comfort.

The opening line, 'Sobre nós fazei brilhar o esplendor de vossa face,' is a plea for God's presence to shine upon the faithful, symbolizing divine favor and enlightenment. The repeated requests for God to listen and respond to the prayer ('Quando eu chamo, respondei-me') emphasize the believer's earnest desire for a connection with the divine. This is a common theme in many religious texts, where the act of calling out to God is an expression of faith and a hope for acknowledgment.

The song also touches on the human quest for happiness and the realization that true contentment comes from divine grace ('Muitos há que se perguntam: “Quem nos dá felicidade?”'). The concluding lines express a serene confidence in God's protection, allowing the believer to rest peacefully ('Eu tranquilo vou deitar-me E na paz logo adormeço'). This psalm, set to music, serves as a reminder of the peace and security that faith can provide, reinforcing the idea that trust in God can alleviate the anxieties of life.
