Psalms 62

1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.

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

2 Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.

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

3 How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart.

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

4 So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.

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

5 Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.

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

6 For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.

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

7 In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

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

8 All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

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

9 So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.

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

10 Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.

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

11 God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God,

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

12 and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.

Og Miskundhed er hos dig, o Herre. Thi enhver gengælder du efter hans Gerning.
