Psalmorum 62

1 Psalmus David, in finem, pro Idithum. Nonne Deo subiecta erit anima mea? ab ipso enim salutare meum.

For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

2 Nam et ipse Deus meus, et salutaris meus: susceptor meus, non movebor amplius.

For he is my God, and my savior; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

3 Quousque irruitis in hominem? interficitis universi vos: tamquam parieti inclinato et maceriae depulsae.

How long will you assault a man? you are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

4 Verumtamen pretium meum cogitaverunt repellere, cucurri in siti: ore suo benedicebant, et corde suo maledicebant.

They only took counsel to set at nothing mine honor: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)

5 Verumtamen Deo subiecta esto anima mea: quoniam ab ipso patientia mea.

Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

6 Quia ipse Deus meus, et salvator meus: adiutor meus, non emigrabo.

For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.

7 In Deo salutare meum, et gloria mea: Deus auxilii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.

In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

8 Sperate in eo omnis congregatio populi, effundite coram illo corda vestra: Deus adiutor noster in aeternum.

Hope in him, all you congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)

9 Verumtamen vani filii hominum, mendaces filii hominum in stateris: ut decipiant ipsi de vanitate in idipsum.

But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.

10 Nolite sperare in iniquitate, et rapinas nolite concupiscere: divitiae si affluant, nolite cor apponere.

Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

11 Semel locutus est Deus, duo haec audivi, quia potestas Dei est,

God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

12 et tibi Domine misericordia: quia tu reddes unicuique iuxta opera sua.

and mercy is your, O Lord; for you will recompense every one according to his works.
