< Psalms 62 >

1 [For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.] My soul rests in God alone, for my salvation is from him.
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־יְדוּת֗וּן מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אַ֣ךְ אֶל־אֱ֭לֹהִים דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress—I will never be upended.
אַךְ־ה֣וּא צ֭וּרִי וִֽישׁוּעָתִ֑י מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י לֹא־אֶמֹּ֥וט רַבָּֽה׃
3 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
עַד־אָ֤נָה ׀ תְּהֹֽותְת֣וּ עַל אִישׁ֮ תְּרָצְּח֪וּ כֻ֫לְּכֶ֥ם כְּקִ֥יר נָט֑וּי גָּ֝דֵ֗ר הַדְּחוּיֽ͏ָה׃
4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
אַ֤ךְ מִשְּׂאֵתֹ֨ו ׀ יָעֲצ֣וּ לְהַדִּיחַ֮ יִרְצ֪וּ כָ֫זָ֥ב בְּפִ֥יו יְבָרֵ֑כוּ וּ֝בְקִרְבָּ֗ם יְקַלְלוּ־סֶֽלָה׃
5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
אַ֣ךְ לֵ֭אלֹהִים דֹּ֣ומִּי נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּי־מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ תִּקְוָתִֽי׃
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be upended.
אַךְ־ה֣וּא צ֭וּרִי וִֽישׁוּעָתִ֑י מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י לֹ֣א אֶמֹּֽוט׃
7 With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
עַל־אֱ֭לֹהִים יִשְׁעִ֣י וּכְבֹודִ֑י צוּר־עֻזִּ֥י מַ֝חְסִ֗י בֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃
8 Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
בִּטְח֘וּ בֹ֤ו בְכָל־עֵ֨ת ׀ עָ֗ם שִׁפְכֽוּ־לְפָנָ֥יו לְבַבְכֶ֑ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים מַחֲסֶה־לָּ֣נוּ סֶֽלָה׃
9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
אַ֤ךְ ׀ הֶ֥בֶל בְּנֵֽי־אָדָם֮ כָּזָ֪ב בְּנֵ֫י אִ֥ישׁ בְּמֹאזְנַ֥יִם לַעֲלֹ֑ות הֵ֝֗מָּה מֵהֶ֥בֶל יָֽחַד׃
10 Do not trust in oppression. Do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
אַל־תִּבְטְח֣וּ בְעֹשֶׁק֮ וּבְגָזֵ֪ל אַל־תֶּ֫הְבָּ֥לוּ חַ֤יִל ׀ כִּֽי־יָנ֑וּב אַל־תָּשִׁ֥יתוּ לֵֽב׃
11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
אַחַ֤ת ׀ דִּבֶּ֬ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים שְׁתַּֽיִם־ז֥וּ שָׁמָ֑עְתִּי כִּ֥י עֹ֝֗ז לֵאלֹהִֽים׃
12 Also to you, YHWH, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
וּלְךָֽ־אֲדֹנָ֥י חָ֑סֶד כִּֽי־אַתָּ֨ה תְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְאִ֣ישׁ כְּֽמַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃
