Salmo 127

The song 'Salmo 127' by Vencedores Por Cristo is a musical adaptation of Psalm 127 from the Bible. The lyrics emphasize the futility of human efforts without divine intervention and the importance of trusting in God's providence. The opening lines, 'Se o Senhor não edificar a casa, em vão trabalham os que a edificam,' translate to 'Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.' This sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting that human endeavors are meaningless without God's blessing and guidance.

The song continues with the theme of divine protection, stating, 'Se o Senhor não guardar a cidade, em vão vigia a sentinela,' which means 'Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.' This reinforces the idea that human efforts, no matter how diligent, are insufficient without God's oversight. The lyrics suggest that true security and success come from relying on God rather than solely on human strength and wisdom.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a message of comfort and assurance. 'Aos seus amados Ele o dá enquanto dormem' translates to 'He grants sleep to those He loves.' This line conveys the idea that God provides for His beloved even as they rest, emphasizing the importance of faith and trust in God's timing and provision. The repetition of 'enquanto esperam no Senhor' or 'while they wait on the Lord' underscores the virtue of patience and the belief that God will provide in His own time. The song, therefore, serves as a reminder of the importance of faith, trust, and reliance on divine providence in all aspects of life.
