< Psalmorum 62 >
1 Psalmus David, in finem, pro Idithum. Nonne Deo subiecta erit anima mea? ab ipso enim salutare meum.
To the Chief Musician. On Jeduthun—A Melody of David. Surely, towards God, silence [becometh] my soul, From him, is my salvation:
2 Nam et ipse Deus meus, et salutaris meus: susceptor meus, non movebor amplius.
Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be greatly shaken!
3 Quousque irruitis in hominem? interficitis universi vos: tamquam parieti inclinato et maceriae depulsae.
How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you, —Like a wall that bulgeth, —a fence pushed in!
4 Verumtamen pretium meum cogitaverunt repellere, cucurri in siti: ore suo benedicebant, et corde suo maledicebant.
Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, —With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. (Selah)
5 Verumtamen Deo subiecta esto anima mea: quoniam ab ipso patientia mea.
Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:
6 Quia ipse Deus meus, et salvator meus: adiutor meus, non emigrabo.
Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower—I shall not be shaken!
7 In Deo salutare meum, et gloria mea: Deus auxilii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.
Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.
8 Sperate in eo omnis congregatio populi, effundite coram illo corda vestra: Deus adiutor noster in aeternum.
Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 Verumtamen vani filii hominum, mendaces filii hominum in stateris: ut decipiant ipsi de vanitate in idipsum.
Surely, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree, —In the balances, they go up, They, are [made] of vanity, altogether.
10 Nolite sperare in iniquitate, et rapinas nolite concupiscere: divitiae si affluant, nolite cor apponere.
Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.
11 Semel locutus est Deus, duo haec audivi, quia potestas Dei est,
One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, [there are] which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;
12 et tibi Domine misericordia: quia tu reddes unicuique iuxta opera sua.
And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, —For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man—according to his deed.
