Psalmorum 62
1 In finem, pro Idithun. Psalmus David. [Nonne Deo subjecta erit anima mea? ab ipso enim salutare meum.
“For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
2 Nam et ipse Deus meus et salutaris meus; susceptor meus, non movebor amplius.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
3 Quousque irruitis in hominem? interficitis universi vos, tamquam parieti inclinato et maceriæ depulsæ.
How long will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering fence?
4 Verumtamen pretium meum cogitaverunt repellere; cucurri in siti: ore suo benedicebant, et corde suo maledicebant.
They study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 Verumtamen Deo subjecta esto, anima mea, quoniam ab ipso patientia mea:
My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
6 quia ipse Deus meus et salvator meus, adjutor meus, non emigrabo.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall.
7 In Deo salutare meum et gloria mea; Deus auxilii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.
From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.
8 Sperate in eo, omnis congregatio populi; effundite coram illo corda vestra: Deus adjutor noster in æternum.
Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!
9 Verumtamen vani filii hominum, mendaces filii hominum in stateris, ut decipiant ipsi de vanitate in idipsum.
Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
10 Nolite sperare in iniquitate, et rapinas nolite concupiscere; divitiæ si affluant, nolite cor apponere.
Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
11 Semel locutus est Deus; duo hæc audivi: quia potestas Dei est,
Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.
12 et tibi, Domine, misericordia: quia tu reddes unicuique juxta opera sua.]
To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
