Salmenes 62
1 Til songmeisteren, for Jedutun; ein salme av David. Einast hjå Gud er mi sjæl still, frå honom kjem mi frelsa.
To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.
2 Einast han er mitt fjell og mi frelsa, han er mi borg, dei skal ikkje rikka meg mykje.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 Kor lenge vil de alle storma inn på ein mann, brjota honom ned som ein hallande mur, ein nedrapa vegg?
How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?
4 Dei samråder seg berre um å støypa honom ned frå hans høgd. Dei likar lygn. Med munnen velsignar dei, men i hjarta bannar dei. (Sela)
Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah)
5 Einast hjå Gud ver still, mi sjæl, for frå honom kjem mi von.
My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.
6 Einast han er mitt fjell og mi frelsa, mi borg, dei skal ikkje rikka meg.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
7 Hjå Gud er mi frelsa og mi æra; mitt sterke fjell, mi livd er i Gud.
In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.
8 Lit på honom all tid, folk, renn dykkar hjarta ut for hans åsyn! Gud er livd for oss. (Sela)
Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah)
9 Berre fåfengd er menneskjesøner, lygn er mannesøner. I vegtskåli stig dei upp - lettare enn fåfengd alle saman.
Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
10 Lit ikkje på vald, og set ikkje fåfengd von til ran! Når buet veks, fest ikkje hjarta ved det!
Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.
11 Ein gong hev Gud sagt, tvo gonger hev eg høyrt dette, at styrke høyrer Gud til.
Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:
12 Og hjå deg, Herre, er miskunn, for du gjev kvar ein etter hans gjerning.
And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
