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].
En Psalm Davids, för Jeduthun, till att föresjunga. Min själ väntar allenast i stillhet efter Gud, den mig hjelper.
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].
Ty han är min tröst, min hjelp, mitt beskärm; att intet ondt skall omstörta mig, ehuru stort det ock är.
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].
Huru länge gån I så alle enom efter; att I mågen dräpa honom, såsom en lutande vägg, och en remnad mur?
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].
De tänka allenast, huru de måga förtrycka honom; vinnlägga sig om lögn, gifva god ord; men i hjertana banna de. (Sela)
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].
Men min själ väntar allenast efter Gud; ty han är mitt hopp.
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.
Han är min tröst, min hjelp, och mitt beskärm, att jag icke faller.
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].
När Gudi är min salighet, min ära, mins starkhets klippa; mitt hopp är till Gud.
8 [You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
Hoppens uppå honom alltid; I folk, utgjuter edor hjerta för honom. Gud är vårt hopp. (Sela)
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.
Men menniskorna äro dock ju intet; de myndige fela ock. De väga mindre än intet, så månge som de äro.
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.
Förlåter eder icke uppå orätt och öfvervåld; håller eder icke till sådant, det intet värdt är. Faller eder rikedom till, så lägger icke hjertat deruppå.
11 I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
Gud hafver ett ord talat; det hafver jag ofta hört, att Gud allena mägtig är.
12 and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
Och du, Herre, äst nådelig; och lönar hvarjom och enom såsom han förtjenar.
