Salme 62

1 Til Sangmesteren. Til Jedutun. En Salme af David.

For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

2 Min Sjæl er Stille for Gud alene, min Frelse kommer fra ham;

For he is my God, and my savior; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

3 ja, han er min Klippe, min Frelse, mit Værn, jeg skal ikke rokkes meget.

How long will you assault a man? you are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

4 Hvor længe stormer I løs paa en Mand, — alle slaar I ham ned — som paa en hældende Væg, en faldende Mur?

They only took counsel to set at nothing mine honor: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)

5 Ja, de oplægger Raad om at styrte ham fra hans Højhed. De elsker Løgn, velsigner med Munden, men forbander i deres Indre. (Sela)

Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

6 Vær stille hos Gud alene, min Sjæl, thi fra ham kommer mit Haab;

For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.

7 ja, han er min Klippe, min Frelse, mit Værn, jeg skal ikke rokkes.

In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

8 Hos Gud er min Hjælp og min Ære, min stærke Klippe, min Tilflugt har jeg i Gud;

Hope in him, all you congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)

9 stol paa ham, al Folkets Forsamling, udøs for ham eders Hjerte, Gud er vor Tilflugt. (Sela)

But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.

10 Kun Tomhed er Mennesker, Mænd en Løgn, paa Vægtskaalen vipper de op, de er Tomhed til Hobe.

Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

11 Forlad eder ikke paa Vold, lad jer ikke blænde af Ran; om Rigdommen vokser, agt ikke derpaa!

God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

12 Een Gang talede Gud, to Gange hørte jeg det: at Magten er Guds, Og Miskundhed er hos dig, o Herre. Thi enhver gengælder du efter hans Gerning.

and mercy is your, O Lord; for you will recompense every one according to his works.
