< Salme 62 >

1 Til Sangmesteren. Til Jedutun. En Salme af David.
For the chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.
2 Min Sjæl er Stille for Gud alene, min Frelse kommer fra ham;
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 ja, han er min Klippe, min Frelse, mit Værn, jeg skal ikke rokkes meget.
How long, all of you, will you attack a man, that you may tip him over like a leaning wall or a shaky fence?
4 Hvor længe stormer I løs paa en Mand, — alle slaar I ham ned — som paa en hældende Væg, en faldende Mur?
They consult with him only to bring him down from his honorable position; they love to tell lies; they bless him with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse him. (Selah)
5 Ja, de oplægger Raad om at styrte ham fra hans Højhed. De elsker Løgn, velsigner med Munden, men forbander i deres Indre. (Sela)
I wait in silence for God alone; for my hope is set on him.
6 Vær stille hos Gud alene, min Sjæl, thi fra ham kommer mit Haab;
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be moved.
7 ja, han er min Klippe, min Frelse, mit Værn, jeg skal ikke rokkes.
With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.
8 Hos Gud er min Hjælp og min Ære, min stærke Klippe, min Tilflugt har jeg i Gud;
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 stol paa ham, al Folkets Forsamling, udøs for ham eders Hjerte, Gud er vor Tilflugt. (Sela)
Surely men of low standing are vanity, and men of high standing are a lie; they will weigh lightly in the scales; weighed together, they are lighter than nothing.
10 Kun Tomhed er Mennesker, Mænd en Løgn, paa Vægtskaalen vipper de op, de er Tomhed til Hobe.
Do not trust in oppression or robbery; and do not hope uselessly in riches, for they will bear no fruit; do not fix your heart on them.
11 Forlad eder ikke paa Vold, lad jer ikke blænde af Ran; om Rigdommen vokser, agt ikke derpaa!
God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: power belongs to 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.
Also to you, Lord, belongs covenant faithfulness, for you pay back every person for what he has done.
