Psaltaren 62
1 En Psalm Davids, för Jeduthun, till att föresjunga. Min själ väntar allenast i stillhet efter Gud, den mig hjelper.
God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
2 Ty han är min tröst, min hjelp, mitt beskärm; att intet ondt skall omstörta mig, ehuru stort det ock är.
Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
3 Huru länge gån I så alle enom efter; att I mågen dräpa honom, såsom en lutande vägg, och en remnad mur?
When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
4 De tänka allenast, huru de måga förtrycka honom; vinnlägga sig om lögn, gifva god ord; men i hjertana banna de. (Sela)
My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
5 Men min själ väntar allenast efter Gud; ty han är mitt hopp.
God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
6 Han är min tröst, min hjelp, och mitt beskärm, att jag icke faller.
Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
7 När Gudi är min salighet, min ära, mins starkhets klippa; mitt hopp är till Gud.
God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
8 Hoppens uppå honom alltid; I folk, utgjuter edor hjerta för honom. Gud är vårt hopp. (Sela)
[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
9 Men menniskorna äro dock ju intet; de myndige fela ock. De väga mindre än intet, så månge som de äro.
People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
10 Förlåter eder icke uppå orätt och öfvervåld; håller eder icke till sådant, det intet värdt är. Faller eder rikedom till, så lägger icke hjertat deruppå.
Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
11 Gud hafver ett ord talat; det hafver jag ofta hört, att Gud allena mägtig är.
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
12 Och du, Herre, äst nådelig; och lönar hvarjom och enom såsom han förtjenar.
and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
