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.

Dio, unico rifugio

62 (A)Al direttore del coro. Per Iedutun.

Salmo di Davide.

Solo in Dio trova riposo l’anima mia;

da lui proviene la mia salvezza.

Lui solo è la mia rocca e la mia salvezza,

il mio alto rifugio; io non potrò vacillare.

Fino a quando vi scaglierete contro un uomo

e cercherete tutti insieme di abbatterlo

come si abbatte una parete che pende, o un muricciolo che cede?

Essi non pensano che a farlo cadere dalla sua altezza,

prendono piacere nella menzogna;

benedicono con la bocca,

ma in cuor loro maledicono. [Pausa]

Anima mia, trova riposo in Dio solo,

poiché da lui proviene la mia speranza.

Egli solo è la mia rocca e la mia salvezza;

egli è il mio rifugio; io non potrò vacillare.

Dio è la mia salvezza e la mia gloria;

la mia forte rocca e il mio rifugio sono in Dio.

Confida in lui in ogni tempo, o popolo;

apri il tuo cuore in sua presenza;

Dio è il nostro rifugio. [Pausa]

Gli uomini del volgo non sono che vanità,

e i nobili non sono che menzogna;

messi sulla bilancia vanno su,

tutti insieme sono più leggeri della vanità.

10 Non abbiate fiducia nella violenza,

non mettete vane speranze nella rapina;

se le ricchezze abbondano, si distacchi da esse il vostro cuore.

11 Dio ha parlato una volta,

due volte ho udito questo:

che il potere appartiene a Dio.

12 A te pure, o Signore, appartiene la misericordia;

perché tu retribuirai ciascuno secondo le sue azioni.

62 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

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; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

My Soul Waits for God Alone

To the choirmaster: according to (A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

62 For God alone (B)my soul (C)waits in silence;
    from him comes my salvation.
(D)He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my (E)fortress; (F)I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will all of you attack a man
    to batter him,
    like (G)a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
They only plan to thrust him down from his (H)high position.
    They take pleasure in falsehood.
(I)They bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse. Selah

For God alone, O (J)my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
(K)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my (L)salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, (M)my refuge is God.

(N)Trust in him at all times, O people;
    (O)pour out your heart before him;
    God is (P)a refuge for us. Selah

(Q)Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate (R)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    (S)they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
    (T)set no vain hopes on robbery;
    (U)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

11 (V)Once God has spoken;
    (W)twice have I heard this:
that (X)power belongs to God,
12     and that to you, O Lord, (Y)belongs steadfast love.
For you will (Z)render to a man
    according to his work.
