Salmos 62

1 Salmo de Davi, quando se achava no deserto de Judá.

2 Ó Deus, vós sois o meu Deus, com ardor vos procuro. Minha alma está sedenta de vós, e minha carne por vós anseia como a terra árida e sequiosa, sem água.

3 Quero vos contemplar no santuário, para ver vosso poder e vossa glória.

4 Porque vossa graça me é mais preciosa do que a vida, meus lábios entoarão vossos louvores.

5 Assim vos bendirei em toda a minha vida, com minhas mãos erguidas vosso nome adorarei.

6 Minha alma saciada como de fino manjar, com exultante alegria meus lábios vos louvarão.

7 Quando, no leito, me vem vossa lembrança, passo a noite toda pensando em vós.

8 Porque vós sois o meu apoio, exulto de alegria, à sombra de vossas asas.

9 Minha alma está unida a vós, sustenta-me a vossa destra.

10 Quanto aos que me procuram perder, cairão nas profundezas dos abismos,

11 serão passados a fio de espada, e se tornarão pasto dos chacais.

12 O rei, porém, se alegrará em Deus. Será glorificado todo o que jurar pelo seu nome, enquanto aos mentirosos lhes será tapada a boca.

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.

1 My soul rests in God alone.

My salvation is from him.

2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.

I will never be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assault a man?

Would all of you throw him down,

like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.

They delight in lies.

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

for my expectation is from him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.

I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor is with God.

The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people.

Pour out your heart before him.

God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely 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.

10 Don’t trust in oppression.

Don’t become vain in robbery.

If riches increase,

don’t set your heart on them.

11 God has spoken once;

twice I have heard this,

that power belongs to God.

12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,

for you reward every man according to his work.
