唯上帝是拯救

大衛作的訓誨詩,交給樂長,照耶杜頓的做法。

62 我的心默默等候上帝,
祂是我的拯救者。
唯有祂才是我的磐石,
我的拯救,我的堡壘,
我必不致動搖。
我就像一面搖搖欲墜的牆壁、行將倒塌的籬笆,
你們要攻擊我、置我於死地到何時呢?
你們千方百計把我從高位拉下。
你們善於說謊,嘴上祝福,
心卻咒詛。(細拉)

我的心啊!要默默等候上帝,
因為我的盼望從祂而來。
唯有祂才是我的磐石,
我的拯救,我的堡壘,
我必不致動搖。
上帝是我的拯救者,
是我的榮耀,
祂是我的堅固磐石,
是我的避難所。
眾百姓啊,
要時刻信靠上帝,
向祂傾心吐意,
因為祂是我們的避難所。(細拉)

卑賤人不過是一絲氣息,
尊貴人不過是一場幻影,
把他們放在天平上一秤,
比空氣還輕,毫無分量。
10 不要敲詐勒索,
不要妄想靠偷盜發財,
即使財富增多,也不要倚靠它。
11 上帝再三告訴我:
祂擁有權能,
12 充滿慈愛。
主啊,你必照各人的行為來施行賞罰。

Psalm 62[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

Truly my soul finds rest(A) in God;(B)
    my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock(C) and my salvation;(D)
    he is my fortress,(E) I will never be shaken.(F)

How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(G) this tottering fence?
Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[b](H)

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(I)
    my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.(J)
Trust in him at all times, you people;(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,(L)
    for God is our refuge.

Surely the lowborn(M) are but a breath,(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(R)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(S)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”(U)

  3. Psalm 62:7 Or / God Most High is my salvation and my honor

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.
