For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is 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, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken. (MT 62:3; LXX 61:3; Rahlfs 61:3)
אַ֣ךְ אֶל־אֱ֭לֹהִים דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃
3How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? (MT 62:4; LXX 61:4; Rahlfs 61:4)
אַךְ־ה֣וּא צ֭וּרִי וִֽישׁוּעָתִ֑י מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י לֹא־אֶמּ֥וֹט רַבָּֽה׃
4They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. (MT 62:5; LXX 61:5; Rahlfs 61:5)
עַד־אָ֤נָה ׀ תְּהֽוֹתְת֣וּ עַל אִישׁ֮ תְּרָצְּח֪וּ כֻ֫לְּכֶ֥ם כְּקִ֥יר נָט֑וּי גָּ֝דֵ֗ר הַדְּחוּיָֽה׃
5My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is 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, 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 is with God. The rock of my strength, and 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, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah. (MT 62:9; LXX 61:9; Rahlfs 61:9)
עַל־אֱ֭לֹהִים יִשְׁעִ֣י וּכְבוֹדִ֑י צוּר־עֻזִּ֥י מַ֝חְסִ֗י בֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃
9Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath. (MT 62:10; LXX 61:10; Rahlfs 61:10)
בִּטְח֘וּ ב֤וֹ בְכָל־עֵ֨ת ׀ עָ֗ם שִׁפְכֽוּ־לְפָנָ֥יו לְבַבְכֶ֑ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים מַחֲסֶה־לָּ֣נוּ סֶֽלָה׃
10Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on 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; twice I have heard this, 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׃
12Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work. (MT 62:13; LXX 61:13; Rahlfs 61:13)
אַחַ֤ת ׀ דִּבֶּ֬ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים שְׁתַּֽיִם־ז֥וּ שָׁמָ֑עְתִּי כִּ֥י עֹ֝֗ז לֵאלֹהִֽים׃
