Salme 62

1 (Til sangmesteren. Til Jedutun. En salme af David.) Min Sjæl er Stille for Gud alene, min Frelse kommer fra ham;

For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.

2 ja, han er min Klippe, min Frelse, mit Værn, jeg skal ikke rokkes meget.

He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.

3 Hvor længe stormer I løs på en Mand, - alle slår I ham ned - som på en hældende Væg, en faldende Mur?

How long are you going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.

4 Ja, de oplægger Råd om at styrte ham fra hans Højhed. De elsker Løgn, velsigner med Munden, men forbander i deres Indre. (Sela)

They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. (Selah)

5 Vær stille hos Gud alene, min Sjæl, thi fra ham kommer mit Håb;

Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.

6 ja, han er min Klippe, min Frelse, mit Værn, jeg skal ikke rokkes.

He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.

7 Hos Gud er min Hjælp og min Ære, min stærke Klippe, min Tilflugt har jeg i Gud;

My salvation and my success come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.

8 stol på ham, al Folkets Forsamling, udøs for ham eders Hjerte, Gud er vor Tilflugt. (Sela)

My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. (Selah)

9 Kun Tomhed er Mennesker, Mænd en Løgn, på Vægtskålen vipper de op, de er Tomhed til Hobe.

Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!

10 Forlad eder ikke på vold, lad jer ikke blænde af Ran; om Rigdommen vokser, agt ikke derpå!

Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.

11 Een Gang talede Gud, to Gange hørte jeg det: at Magten er Guds,

God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.

12 Og Miskundhed er hos dig, o Herre. Thi enhver gengælder du efter hans Gerning.

You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.
