< Psalmi 62 >
1 Resnično, moja duša čaka na Boga, od njega prihaja rešitev moje duše.
For the chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him.
2 Samo on je moja skala in rešitev moje duše, on je moja obramba, ne bom silno omajan.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 Doklej boste zoper človeka domišljali vragolijo? Vsi izmed vas boste umorjeni, kakor usločen zid boste in kakor majajoča se ograja.
How long, all of you, will you attack a man, that you may tip him over like a leaning wall or a shaky fence?
4 Samo posvetujejo se, da ga vržejo dol od njegove odličnosti, veselijo se v lažeh, blagoslavljajo s svojimi usti, toda navznoter preklinjajo. (Sela)
They consult with him only to bring him down from his honorable position; they love to tell lies; they bless him with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse him. (Selah)
5 Moja duša, čakaj samo na Boga, kajti moje pričakovanje je od njega.
I wait in silence for God alone; for my hope is set on him.
6 Samo on je moja skala in rešitev moje duše. On je moja obramba, ne bom omajan.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be moved.
7 V Bogu je rešitev moje duše in moja slava. Skala moje moči in moje zatočišče je v Bogu.
With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge are in God.
8 Ob vseh časih zaupajte vanj, ve ljudstva, svoje srce izlijte pred njim. Bog je za nas zatočišče. (Sela)
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 Ljudje nizkega položaja so zagotovo ničevost in ljudje visokega položaja so laž. Položeni na tehtnico so vsi skupaj lažji kakor ničevost.
Surely men of low standing are vanity, and men of high standing are a lie; they will weigh lightly in the scales; weighed together, they are lighter than nothing.
10 Ne zaupaj v zatiranje in ne postani prazen v ropu. Če bogastva narastejo, svojega srca ne naveži nanje.
Do not trust in oppression or robbery; and do not hope uselessly in riches, for they will bear no fruit; do not fix your heart on them.
11 Bog je spregovoril enkrat, to sem slišal dvakrat, da oblast pripada Bogu.
God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: power belongs to God.
12 Tudi tebi, oh Gospod, pripada usmiljenje, kajti vsakemu človeku povračaš glede na njegovo delo.
Also to you, Lord, belongs covenant faithfulness, for you pay back every person for what he has done.
