唯上帝是拯救

大卫作的训诲诗,交给乐长,照耶杜顿的做法。

62 我的心默默等候上帝,
祂是我的拯救者。
唯有祂才是我的磐石,
我的拯救,我的堡垒,
我必不致动摇。
我就像一面摇摇欲坠的墙壁、行将倒塌的篱笆,
你们要攻击我、置我于死地到何时呢?
你们千方百计把我从高位拉下。
你们善于说谎,嘴上祝福,
心却咒诅。(细拉)

我的心啊!要默默等候上帝,
因为我的盼望从祂而来。
唯有祂才是我的磐石,
我的拯救,我的堡垒,
我必不致动摇。
上帝是我的拯救者,
是我的荣耀,
祂是我的坚固磐石,
是我的避难所。
众百姓啊,
要时刻信靠上帝,
向祂倾心吐意,
因为祂是我们的避难所。(细拉)

卑贱人不过是一丝气息,
尊贵人不过是一场幻影,
把他们放在天平上一秤,
比空气还轻,毫无分量。
10 不要敲诈勒索,
不要妄想靠偷盗发财,
即使财富增多,也不要倚靠它。
11 上帝再三告诉我:
祂拥有权能,
12 充满慈爱。
主啊,你必照各人的行为来施行赏罚。

Confidence in God’s Salvation

For the music director, on Jeduthun.[a]

A psalm of David.[b]

62 Only for God my soul waits in silence.
From him is my salvation.
Only he is my rock and my salvation,
my high stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will you attack a man?
All of you will be shattered[c]
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.
They only[d] plan to thrust him down from his high position;
they are pleased with deception.
With their mouths[e] they bless,
but inwardly[f] they curse. Selah
Only for God wait in silence, O my soul,
because my hope is from him.
Only he is my rock and my salvation,
my high stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
God[g] is my strong rock, my refuge.
Trust him at all times, O people;
pour out before him your heart.
God is a refuge for us. Selah
Only a vapor[h] are men of low degree,
a deception are men of high degree.
Weighed[i] in a balance,
together they are lighter than a vapor.
10 Do not trust in extortion,
and do not put vain confidence in robbery.
If wealth increases,
do not set your heart on it.
11 Once God has spoken;
twice I have heard this:
that strength belongs to God.
12 And to you belongs loyal love, O Lord,
because you will render to each according to his work.
