Psalms 62

lamnatseakh al-yedutun mizmor ledavid

For the leader; on Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

akh el-elohim dumiyyah nafshi mimmennu yeshu'ati

Truly my soul waits quietly for God, from whom my deliverance comes.

akh-hu tsuri vishu'ati misgabbi lo-emmot rabbah

Truly [God] is my rock and deliverance, my haven; I shall never be shaken.

ad-anah tehotetu al-ish teratsekhu khullekhem keqir natuy gader haddekhuyah

How long will all of you attack someone, to crush them, as though they were a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

akh misse'eto ya'atsu lehaddiakh yirtsu khazav befiv yevarekhu uveqirbam yeqallu-selah

You lay plans to topple them from their status; you delight in falsehood; you bless with your mouths, while inwardly you curse. Selah.

akh lelohim dommi nafshi ki-mimmennu tiqvati

Truly, wait quietly for God, O my soul, from whom comes my hope.

akh-hu tsuri vishu'ati misgabbi lo emmot

[God] is my rock and deliverance, my haven; I shall not be shaken.

al-elohim yishi ukhevodi tsur-uzzi makhsi belohim

I rely on God, my deliverance and glory, my rock of strength; in God is my refuge.

bitkhu-vo vekhol-et am shifkhu-lefanayw levavkhem elohim makhaseh-llanu selah

Trust in [God] at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before the Holy One; God is our refuge. Selah.

akh hevel bene-adam kazav bene-ish bemozenayim la'alot hemmah mehevel yakhad

Humans are mere breath; mortals, an illusion— placed on a scale all together, they weigh even less than a breath.

al-tivtekhu ve'osheq uvegazel al-tehbalu khayil ki-yanuv al-tashitu lev

Do not trust in violence, or put false hopes in robbery; if force bears fruit pay it no mind.

akhat dibber elohim shetayim-zu shama'eti ki oz lelohim

One thing God has spoken; two things have I heard: that might belongs to God,

ulekha-adonay khased ki-attah teshallem le'ish kema'asehu

and faithfulness is Yours, O my Sovereign, to reward everyone according to their deeds.
