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].
In finem, Pro Idithun, Psalmus David. Nonne Deo subiecta erit anima mea? ab ipso enim salutare meum.
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].
Nam et ipse Deus meus, et salutaris meus: susceptor meus, non movebor amplius.
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].
Quousque irruitis in hominem? interficitis universi vos: tamquam parieti inclinato et maceriæ depulsæ.
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].
Verumtamen pretium meum cogitaverunt repellere, cucurri in siti: ore suo benedicebant, et corde suo maledicebant.
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].
Verumtamen Deo subiecta esto anima mea: quoniam ab ipso patientia mea.
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.
Quia ipse Deus meus, et salvator meus: adiutor meus, non emigrabo.
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].
In Deo salutare meum, et gloria mea: Deus auxilii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.
8 [You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
Sperate in eo omnis congregatio populi, effundite coram illo corda vestra: Deus adiutor noster in æternum.
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.
Verumtamen vani filii hominum, mendaces filii hominum in stateris: ut decipiant ipsi de vanitate in idipsum.
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.
Nolite sperare in iniquitate, et rapinas nolite concupiscere: divitiæ si affluant, nolite cor apponere.
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
Semel locutus est Deus, duo hæc audivi, quia potestas Dei est,
12 and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
et tibi Domine misericordia: quia tu reddes unicuique iuxta opera sua.
