唯上帝是拯救

大卫作的训诲诗,交给乐长,照耶杜顿的做法。

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,我的堡垒,
我必不致动摇。
我就像一面摇摇欲坠的墙壁、行将倒塌的篱笆,
你们要攻击我、置我于死地到何时呢?
你们千方百计把我从高位拉下。
你们善于说谎,嘴上祝福,
心却咒诅。(细拉)

我的心啊!要默默等候上帝,
因为我的盼望从祂而来。
唯有祂才是我的磐石,
我的拯救,我的堡垒,
我必不致动摇。
上帝是我的拯救者,
是我的荣耀,
祂是我的坚固磐石,
是我的避难所。
众百姓啊,
要时刻信靠上帝,
向祂倾心吐意,
因为祂是我们的避难所。(细拉)

卑贱人不过是一丝气息,
尊贵人不过是一场幻影,
把他们放在天平上一秤,
比空气还轻,毫无分量。
10 不要敲诈勒索,
不要妄想靠偷盗发财,
即使财富增多,也不要倚靠它。
11 上帝再三告诉我:
祂拥有权能,
12 充满慈爱。
主啊,你必照各人的行为来施行赏罚。

Salmo 62

Dios, el único refugio

Para el director del coro; según Jedutún. Salmo de David.

62 En Dios solamente espera en silencio mi alma(A);
De Él viene mi salvación(B).
Solo Él es mi roca y mi salvación(C),
Mi baluarte(D), nunca seré sacudido.
¶¿Hasta cuándo atacarán a un hombre,
Todos ustedes, para derribarlo,
Como pared inclinada(E), como cerca que se tambalea?
Ellos solamente consultan para derribarlo de su eminencia;
En la falsedad se deleitan(F);
Bendicen con la boca,
Pero por dentro maldicen(G). (Selah)
¶Alma mía, espera en silencio solamente en Dios(H),
Pues de Él viene mi esperanza.
Solo Él es mi roca y mi salvación(I),
Mi refugio, nunca seré sacudido.
En Dios descansan mi salvación y mi gloria(J);
La roca de mi fortaleza, mi refugio, está en Dios(K).
Confíen en Él en todo tiempo(L),
Oh pueblo; derramen su corazón delante de Él(M);
Dios es nuestro refugio. (Selah)
¶Los hombres de baja condición(N) solo son vanidad(O), y los de alto rango son mentira(P);
En la balanza suben(Q),
Todos juntos pesan menos que un soplo.
10 No confíen ustedes en la opresión(R),
Ni en el robo pongan su esperanza(S);
Si las riquezas aumentan, no pongan el corazón en ellas(T).
11 ¶Una vez ha hablado Dios(U);
Dos veces he oído esto:
Que de Dios es el poder(V);
12 Y Tuya es, oh Señor, la misericordia(W),
Pues Tú pagas al hombre conforme a sus obras(X).

Psalm 62

Song of Trust in God Alone

To the leader: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

For God alone my soul waits in silence;
    from him comes my salvation.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall never be shaken.

How long will you assail a person,
    will you batter your victim, all of you,
    as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.
    They take pleasure in falsehood;
they bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse.Selah

For God alone my soul waits in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
    my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.

Trust in him at all times, O people;
    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us.Selah

Those of low estate are but a breath,
    those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no confidence in extortion,
    and set no vain hopes on robbery;
    if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

11 Once God has spoken;
    twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
12     and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
    according to their work.

Psalm 62[a]

Trust in God Alone

For the director.[b] For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

In God alone is my soul[c] at rest;
    it is from him that my salvation comes.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress, so that I stand ever unshaken.
How long will you assault someone,
    and all of you beat him down,
as if he were a leaning wall
    or a tottering fence?[d]
They devise plots to dislodge me
    from my place on high[e]
    and delight in spreading lies about me.
They bless with their lips,
    but they curse in their hearts. Selah
In God alone be at rest,[f] O my soul;
    it is from him that my hope comes.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress, so that I stand unshaken.
My deliverance and my glory depend on God;
    he is my mighty rock and my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, my people,
    and pour out your heart before him,[g]
    for God is our refuge. Selah
10 Ordinary people are no more than a breath,
    and the great are no more than a delusion.
When they are placed on scales all together,
    they are lighter than air.[h]
11 Do not place your trust in extortion,
    and set no vain hopes in stolen goods;
no matter how greatly your wealth increases,
    do not set your heart[i] on it.
12 One thing God has revealed;
    two things have I heard:
that power belongs to you, O God,
13     and so does kindness,[j]Lord.
You reward each person
    in accordance with his deeds.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 62:1 This psalm recalls the malice of human beings (see Ps 4:3), the nothingness of creatures (see Ps 39:6f; Isa 40:15), the vanity of riches (see Ps 49:13; Prov 11:28; 27:24), and the impartiality of the heavenly Judge (see Pss 9:8f, 17; 11:7; 33:5; 140:13). It provides an unsurpassable lesson of wisdom and simple trust in God to those who are deeply hurt and deceived (see Ps 31). Human beings seek success in wickedness, falsehood, and violence. The believer knows the futility of this manner of acting; it is of no avail in the sight of God’s judgment. Entirely different is the strength of the faithful: the Lord, who renders to each what they merit (Job 34:11; Prov 24:12; Sir 16:14; Ezek 18), will never fail them—and he is the only one who will never do so.
    At the invitation of Christ and in union with him, we must learn to abandon ourselves to the heavenly Father in all the trials and difficulties of life and seek in him our rest and inner peace. We could thus recite this entire psalm to celebrate the wonderful fruits of this filial confidence and to exhort our life companions to practice similar abandonment.
  2. Psalm 62:1 For the director: these words are thought to be a musical or liturgical notation. Jeduthun: see note on Ps 39:1.
  3. Psalm 62:2 Soul: see note on Ps 6:4.
  4. Psalm 62:4 Leaning wall . . . tottering fence: metaphor for the psalmist’s state of weakness—real (in God’s eyes) or imagined (by his enemies).
  5. Psalm 62:5 Place on high: either a throne in the case of David or a place of safety such as a fortress on a cliff in the case of another psalmist. Hearts: see note on Ps 4:8.
  6. Psalm 62:6 Be at rest: see Pss 27:13f; 42:6, 12; 43:5.
  7. Psalm 62:9 Pour out your heart before him: a call for true prayer and meditation with God (see Lam 2:19). Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.
  8. Psalm 62:10 A reference to the manner of weighing precious objects; the lighter one would rise. On God’s scale, the wicked are a puff of air. The image of the scale recurs in Job 31:6; Prov 16:2; 21:2; 24:12; Isa 40:15.
  9. Psalm 62:11 The Prophets inveighed against social crimes (see Isa 30:12; Ezek 22:29). The consequence was the recommendation to be detached from riches (see Job 27:12ff; 31:25; Eccl 5:8ff; Jer 17:11; Mt 6:19f, 24). Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.
  10. Psalm 62:13 The doctrine of personal retribution, taught by the Prophets, above all Ezekiel (see Ezek 18), is taken up by the sages and the psalmists (see Pss 28:4; 31:24; Job 34:11; Prov 24:12; Sir 16:13) and passes into the New Testament (see Mt 16:27; Rom 2:6; 2 Tim 4:14; Rev 2:23)—but only good deeds have eternal value. Kindness: see note on Ps 6:5.
