Ψαλμοί 62

1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ Ιδιθουν ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ οὐχὶ τῷ θεῷ ὑποταγήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου παρ’ αὐτοῦ γὰρ τὸ σωτήριόν μου

For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.

2 καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς θεός μου καὶ σωτήρ μου ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ ἐπὶ πλεῖον

He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.

3 ἕως πότε ἐπιτίθεσθε ἐπ’ ἄνθρωπον φονεύετε πάντες ὡς τοίχῳ κεκλιμένῳ καὶ φραγμῷ ὠσμένῳ

How long are you going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.

4 πλὴν τὴν τιμήν μου ἐβουλεύσαντο ἀπώσασθαι ἔδραμον ἐν ψεύδει τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐλογοῦσαν καὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν κατηρῶντο διάψαλμα

They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. (Selah)

5 πλὴν τῷ θεῷ ὑποτάγηθι ἡ ψυχή μου ὅτι παρ’ αὐτοῦ ἡ ὑπομονή μου

Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.

6 ὅτι αὐτὸς θεός μου καὶ σωτήρ μου ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου οὐ μὴ μεταναστεύσω

He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.

7 ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου καὶ ἡ δόξα μου ὁ θεὸς τῆς βοηθείας μου καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ

My salvation and my success come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.

8 ἐλπίσατε ἐπ’ αὐτόν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ λαοῦ ἐκχέετε ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὁ θεὸς βοηθὸς ἡμῶν διάψαλμα

My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. (Selah)

9 πλὴν μάταιοι οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ψευδεῖς οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν ζυγοῖς τοῦ ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὶ ἐκ ματαιότητος ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό

Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!

10 μὴ ἐλπίζετε ἐπὶ ἀδικίαν καὶ ἐπὶ ἅρπαγμα μὴ ἐπιποθεῖτε πλοῦτος ἐὰν ῥέῃ μὴ προστίθεσθε καρδίαν

Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.

11 ἅπαξ ἐλάλησεν ὁ θεός δύο ταῦτα ἤκουσα

God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.

12 ὅτι τὸ κράτος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ σοί κύριε τὸ ἔλεος ὅτι σὺ ἀποδώσεις ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.
