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.

Ngoqotho, umphefumulo wami uyamlindela uNkulunkulu ngokuthula; luvela kuye usindiso lwami.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa kakhulu.

3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

Koze kube nini liceba ububi limelene lomuntu? Lonke lizabulawa, njengomduli otshekileyo, uthango oludilikayo.

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.

Baceba kuphela ukumwisa ekuphakameni kwakhe, bathokoza ngamanga; ngomlomo wabo bayabusisa, kodwa ngaphakathi kwabo bayathuka. (Sela)

5 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

Mphefumulo wami, lindela ngokuthula kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ngoba ithemba lami livela kuye.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa.

7 My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.

LukuNkulunkulu usindiso lwami lodumo lwami, idwala lamandla ami, isiphephelo sami, kukuNkulunkulu.

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.

Thembani kuye isikhathi sonke, lina bantu; lithulule inhliziyo yenu phambi kwakhe; uNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu. (Sela)

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.

Ngoqotho, abantukazana bayize, izikhulu ziyinkohliso; esilinganisweni balula kuleze bebonke.

10 Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

Lingathembeli embandezelweni, lingamisi ithemba eliyize ekuphangeni; uba inotho isanda, lingabeki inhliziyo kuyo.

11 God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,

UNkulunkulu ukhulumile kwaba kanye, ngikuzwile lokhu kabili, ukuthi amandla angakaNkulunkulu.

12 and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.

Lomusa ungowakho, Nkosi; ngoba wena uyamphindisela wonke umuntu njengokomsebenzi wakhe.
