< 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 the leader. On jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait alone in silence for God; From him comes my help.
2 καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς θεός μου καὶ σωτήρ μου ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ ἐπὶ πλεῖον
Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.
3 ἕως πότε ἐπιτίθεσθε ἐπ’ ἄνθρωπον φονεύετε πάντες ὡς τοίχῳ κεκλιμένῳ καὶ φραγμῷ ὠσμένῳ
How long will you, all of you, batter a man, as one might a leaning wall?
4 πλὴν τὴν τιμήν μου ἐβουλεύσαντο ἀπώσασθαι ἔδραμον ἐν ψεύδει τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐλογοῦσαν καὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν κατηρῶντο διάψαλμα
From his height they are planning to topple him. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
5 πλὴν τῷ θεῷ ὑποτάγηθι ἡ ψυχή μου ὅτι παρ’ αὐτοῦ ἡ ὑπομονή μου
I wait alone in silence for God; for from him comes my hope.
6 ὅτι αὐτὸς θεός μου καὶ σωτήρ μου ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου οὐ μὴ μεταναστεύσω
Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.
7 ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου καὶ ἡ δόξα μου ὁ θεὸς τῆς βοηθείας μου καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ
On God rests my honour and safety, in God is my strong rock, my refuge.
8 ἐλπίσατε ἐπ’ αὐτόν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ λαοῦ ἐκχέετε ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὁ θεὸς βοηθὸς ἡμῶν διάψαλμα
Trust in him, all you people assembled, pour out your heart in his presence; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 πλὴν μάταιοι οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ψευδεῖς οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν ζυγοῖς τοῦ ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὶ ἐκ ματαιότητος ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
The lowly are nought but a breath, the lofty are but an illusion: in the balances up they go, they are lighter than breath altogether.
10 μὴ ἐλπίζετε ἐπὶ ἀδικίαν καὶ ἐπὶ ἅρπαγμα μὴ ἐπιποθεῖτε πλοῦτος ἐὰν ῥέῃ μὴ προστίθεσθε καρδίαν
Trust not in gain of extortion, set no vain hopes in robbery. As for wealth, if it bears fruit, set not your heart upon it.
11 ἅπαξ ἐλάλησεν ὁ θεός δύο ταῦτα ἤκουσα
One thing God has uttered, two things there are which I heard that power belongs to God,
12 ὅτι τὸ κράτος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ σοί κύριε τὸ ἔλεος ὅτι σὺ ἀποδώσεις ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ
and to you, too, O Lord, belongs kindness; for you requite each person according to what they have done.
