Salme 62

1 (Til sangmesteren. Til Jedutun. En salme af David.) Min Sjæl er Stille for Gud alene, min Frelse kommer fra ham;

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

He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

3 Hvor længe stormer I løs på en Mand, - alle slår I ham ned - som på en hældende Væg, en faldende Mur?

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

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

I wait in silence for God alone; for my hope is set on him.

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

He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be moved.

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

With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.

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

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Kun Tomhed er Mennesker, Mænd en Løgn, på Vægtskålen vipper de op, de er Tomhed til Hobe.

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 Forlad eder ikke på vold, lad jer ikke blænde af Ran; om Rigdommen vokser, agt ikke derpå!

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 Een Gang talede Gud, to Gange hørte jeg det: at Magten er Guds,

God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: power belongs to God.

12 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.
