Psalms 62

1 To the Chief Musician. On Jeduthun—A Melody of David. Surely, towards God, silence [becometh] my soul, From him, is my salvation:

Resnično, moja duša čaka na Boga, od njega prihaja rešitev moje duše.

2 Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!

Samo on je moja skala in rešitev moje duše, on je moja obramba, ne bom silno omajan.

3 How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you, —Like a wall that bulgeth, —a fence pushed in!

Doklej boste zoper človeka domišljali vragolijo? Vsi izmed vas boste umorjeni, kakor usločen zid boste in kakor majajoča se ograja.

4 Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, —With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. (Selah)

Samo posvetujejo se, da ga vržejo dol od njegove odličnosti, veselijo se v lažeh, blagoslavljajo s svojimi usti, toda navznoter preklinjajo. (Sela)

5 Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

Moja duša, čakaj samo na Boga, kajti moje pričakovanje je od njega.

6 Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!

Samo on je moja skala in rešitev moje duše. On je moja obramba, ne bom omajan.

7 Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.

V Bogu je rešitev moje duše in moja slava. Skala moje moči in moje zatočišče je v Bogu.

8 Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Ob vseh časih zaupajte vanj, ve ljudstva, svoje srce izlijte pred njim. Bog je za nas zatočišče. (Sela)

9 Surely, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree, —In the balances, they go up, They, are [made] of vanity, altogether.

Ljudje nizkega položaja so zagotovo ničevost in ljudje visokega položaja so laž. Položeni na tehtnico so vsi skupaj lažji kakor ničevost.

10 Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.

Ne zaupaj v zatiranje in ne postani prazen v ropu. Če bogastva narastejo, svojega srca ne naveži nanje.

11 One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;

Bog je spregovoril enkrat, to sem slišal dvakrat, da oblast pripada Bogu.

12 And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.

Tudi tebi, oh Gospod, pripada usmiljenje, kajti vsakemu človeku povračaš glede na njegovo delo.
