A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God

To the Chief Musician. To (A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 Truly (B)my soul silently waits for God;
From Him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my [a]defense;
I shall not be greatly (C)moved.[b]

How long will you attack a man?
You shall be slain, all of you,
(D)Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
They only consult to cast him down from his high position;
They (E)delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth,
But they curse inwardly. Selah

My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my [c]expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be [d]moved.
(F)In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;
(G)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

(H)Surely men of low degree are [e]a vapor,
Men of high degree are a lie;
If they are weighed on the scales,
They are altogether lighter than vapor.
10 Do not trust in oppression,
Nor vainly hope in robbery;
(I)If riches increase,
Do not set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.
12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
For (J)You [f]render to each one according to his work.

Psalm 62

My Soul Rests in God Alone

Heading

For the choir director. According to Jeduthun.[a] A psalm by David.

God Alone Is My Refuge

My soul rests quietly in God alone.
My salvation is from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be disturbed.
How long will you threaten a man?
Do all of you want to murder him,
    like a leaning wall, like a fence to be pushed down?
Yes, they plan to push him down from his lofty place.
They are delighted with deceit.
With their mouths they bless,
but inside they curse. Interlude

God Alone Is My Refuge

My soul, rest quietly in God alone,
for my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be disturbed.
My salvation and my honor depend on God, my strong rock.
My refuge is in God.
Trust in him at all times, you people.
Pour out your hearts before him. Interlude
God is a refuge for us.

Strength in God, Not in Man

Yes, the sons of Adam are only a breath.
The sons of man are a delusion.
On a scale they weigh nothing.
They are nothing but air.[b]
10 Do not trust in extortion.
Do not put empty confidence in stolen goods.
If your wealth grows, do not set your heart on it.
11 One thing God has spoken,
two things that I have heard:
    that God has strength
12     and that you, Lord, have mercy.
Surely you will repay each person
    according to what he has done.

В Бога е истинското успокоение

62 За първия певец. По Йедутун[a]. Псалом на Давид.

[b] Само в Бога се успокоява моята душа,
от Него е моето спасение.
Само Той е моя скала и мое спасение.
Той е моя крепост. Няма да се огъна.
Докога ще нападате човека?
Всички сте убийци, опасни като наклонена стена и полусрутена ограда.
(A)Те намислиха да го съборят от високото място.
Харесва им лъжата.
С устата си благославят, а в сърцето си проклинат.
(B)Само в Бога се успокоява моята душа,
в Него е моята надежда.
Само Той е моя скала и мое спасение.
Той е моя крепост. Няма да се огъна.
(C)В Бога са моето спасение и моята чест.
Бог е моя силна защита, мое прибежище.
Народе Божий! Уповавай се на Него по всяко време!
Изливай сърцето си пред Него!
Бог е наше прибежище.
10 (D)Хората са нищо, хората са лъжа
поставени на везни, те политат нагоре;
те всички са по-леки от дихание;
11 (E)Не се уповавайте на насилие,
не се мамете чрез грабеж!
Когато богатството расте, не привързвайте сърцето си към него.
12 (F)Едно каза Бог, два пъти го чух:
„Силата е у Бога“,
13 (G)и на Тебе, Господи, принадлежи милостта,
защото Ти въздаваш на всекиго според делото му.
