For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him. (MT 62:2; LXX 61:1; LXX 61:2; Rahlfs 61:1; Rahlfs 61:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־יְדוּת֗וּן מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken. (MT 62:3; LXX 61:3; Rahlfs 61:3)
אַ֣ךְ אֶל־אֱ֭לֹהִים דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃
3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence? (MT 62:4; LXX 61:4; Rahlfs 61:4)
אַךְ־ה֣וּא צ֭וּרִי וִֽישׁוּעָתִ֑י מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י לֹא־אֶמּ֥וֹט רַבָּֽה׃
4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah (MT 62:5; LXX 61:5; Rahlfs 61:5)
עַד־אָ֤נָה ׀ תְּהֽוֹתְת֣וּ עַל אִישׁ֮ תְּרָצְּח֪וּ כֻ֫לְּכֶ֥ם כְּקִ֥יר נָט֑וּי גָּ֝דֵ֗ר הַדְּחוּיָֽה׃
5Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him. (MT 62:6; LXX 61:6; Rahlfs 61:6)
אַ֤ךְ מִשְּׂאֵת֨וֹ ׀ יָעֲצ֣וּ לְהַדִּיחַ֮ יִרְצ֪וּ כָ֫זָ֥ב בְּפִ֥יו יְבָרֵ֑כוּ וּ֝בְקִרְבָּ֗ם יְקַלְלוּ־סֶֽלָה׃
6He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken. (MT 62:7; LXX 61:7; Rahlfs 61:7)
אַ֣ךְ לֵ֭אלֹהִים דּ֣וֹמִּי נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּי־מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ תִּקְוָתִֽי׃
7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God. (MT 62:8; LXX 61:8; Rahlfs 61:8)
אַךְ־ה֣וּא צ֭וּרִי וִֽישׁוּעָתִ֑י מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י לֹ֣א אֶמּֽוֹט׃
8Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah (MT 62:9; LXX 61:9; Rahlfs 61:9)
עַל־אֱ֭לֹהִים יִשְׁעִ֣י וּכְבוֹדִ֑י צוּר־עֻזִּ֥י מַ֝חְסִ֗י בֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃
9Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor. (MT 62:10; LXX 61:10; Rahlfs 61:10)
בִּטְח֘וּ ב֤וֹ בְכָל־עֵ֨ת ׀ עָ֗ם שִׁפְכֽוּ־לְפָנָ֥יו לְבַבְכֶ֑ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים מַחֲסֶה־לָּ֣נוּ סֶֽלָה׃
10Place no trust in extortion or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them. (MT 62:11; LXX 61:11; Rahlfs 61:11)
אַ֤ךְ ׀ הֶ֥בֶל בְּנֵֽי־אָדָם֮ כָּזָ֪ב בְּנֵ֫י אִ֥ישׁ בְּמֹאזְנַ֥יִם לַעֲל֑וֹת הֵ֝֗מָּה מֵהֶ֥בֶל יָֽחַד׃
11God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God, (MT 62:12; LXX 61:12; Rahlfs 61:12)
אַל־תִּבְטְח֣וּ בְעֹשֶׁק֮ וּבְגָזֵ֪ל אַל־תֶּ֫הְבָּ֥לוּ חַ֤יִל ׀ כִּֽי־יָנ֑וּב אַל־תָּשִׁ֥יתוּ לֵֽב׃
12and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds. (MT 62:13; LXX 61:13; Rahlfs 61:13)
אַחַ֤ת ׀ דִּבֶּ֬ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים שְׁתַּֽיִם־ז֥וּ שָׁמָ֑עְתִּי כִּ֥י עֹ֝֗ז לֵאלֹהִֽים׃
