< Psalms 62 >
1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
達味詩歌,交與樂官耶杜通。 我的靈魂只安息在天主內,因為我的救援是由天主而來。
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
只有天主是我的磐石,我的救星;天主是我的堡壘,我決不搖傾。
3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
你們不斷侵犯一人,並向他一人衝擊,如衝擊將倒的牆,將坍的壁,要到幾時?
4 They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.
實在,他們企圖要將我由我高位上推下;他們喜愛謊言,口雖祝福,心卻辱罵。
5 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
我的靈魂,你只安息在天主內,因為我的期望全是由祂而來。
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
只有天主是我的磐石,我的救星;天主是我的堡壘,我決不搖傾。
7 My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
我的救恩,我的光榮全在於天主,我的堡壘,我的護衛全基於天主。
8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.
百姓,你們該常向他表示依靠,該在他面前吐露你們的心竅:因為天主確是我們的避難所。
9 Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
庶民不過是口氣,顯貴也無非是幻影;放在天秤上必然浮起,合計還比氣輕。
10 Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
莫依勢凌人,不要以劫掠驕矜;如財寶日增,也不要掛念在心。
11 God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
天主說過一次,我確實也聽過兩次:
12 and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
威能屬於天主;慈愛也非你莫屬,因你按照各人的行為給予酬報。
