Psalms 62 — parallel

62:1

Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ.

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

62:2

Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea ; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea !

He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

62:3

In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.

How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

62:4

Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.

They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah

62:5

Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.

Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

62:6

Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.

He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

62:7

Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.

My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.

62:8

Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.

Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah

62:9

Adhæsit anima mea post te ; me suscepit dextera tua.

Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

62:10

Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam : introibunt in inferiora terræ ;

Place no trust in extortion or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

62:11

tradentur in manus gladii : partes vulpium erunt.

God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,

62:12

Rex vero lætabitur in Deo ; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo : quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.

and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man .
