Psalms 62
1 God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «يَدُوثُونَ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ إِنَّمَا لِلهِ ٱنْتَظَرَتْ نَفْسِي. مِنْ قِبَلِهِ خَلَاصِي. | ١ |
2 Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
| إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَخْرَتِي وَخَلَاصِي، مَلْجَإِي، لَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ كَثِيرًا. | ٢ |
3 When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
| إِلَى مَتَى تَهْجِمُونَ عَلَى ٱلْإِنْسَانِ؟ تَهْدِمُونَهُ كُلُّكُمْ كَحَائِطٍ مُنْقَضٍّ، كَجِدَارٍ وَاقِعٍ! | ٣ |
4 My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
| إِنَّمَا يَتَآمَرُونَ لِيَدْفَعُوهُ عَنْ شَرَفِهِ. يَرْضَوْنَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُبَارِكُونَ وَبِقُلُوبِهِمْ يَلْعَنُونَ. سِلَاهْ. | ٤ |
5 God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
| إِنَّمَا لِلهِ ٱنْتَظِرِي يَا نَفْسِي، لِأَنَّ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ رَجَائِي. | ٥ |
6 Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
| إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَخْرَتِي وَخَلَاصِي، مَلْجَإِي فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ. | ٦ |
7 God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
| عَلَى ٱللهِ خَلَاصِي وَمَجْدِي، صَخْرَةُ قُوَّتِي مُحْتَمَايَ فِي ٱللهِ. | ٧ |
8 [You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
| تَوَكَّلُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ يَا قَوْمُ. ٱسْكُبُوا قُدَّامَهُ قُلُوبَكُمْ. ٱللهُ مَلْجَأٌ لَنَا. سِلَاهْ. | ٨ |
9 People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
| إِنَّمَا بَاطِلٌ بَنُو آدَمَ. كَذِبٌ بَنُو ٱلْبَشَرِ. فِي ٱلْمَوَازِينِ هُمْ إِلَى فَوْقُ. هُمْ مِنْ بَاطِلٍ أَجْمَعُونَ. | ٩ |
10 Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
| لَا تَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى ٱلظُّلْمِ وَلَا تَصِيرُوا بَاطِلًا فِي ٱلْخَطْفِ. إِنْ زَادَ ٱلْغِنَى فَلَا تَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ قَلْبًا. | ١٠ |
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
| مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَهَاتَيْنِ ٱلِٱثْنَتَيْنِ سَمِعْتُ: أَنَّ ٱلْعِزَّةَ لِلهِ، | ١١ |
12 and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
| وَلَكَ يَارَبُّ ٱلرَّحْمَةُ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُجَازِي ٱلْإِنْسَانَ كَعَمَلِهِ. | ١٢ |
