1 (For the one directing. According to Yedutun. Mizmor of Dovid)

2 Truly my nefesh waiteth silently*62:2 in submission upon Elohim;

from Him cometh my Yeshu’ah (salvation).

3 Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshu’ah (salvation);

He is my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

4 How long will ye rush to attack an ish?

To thrust at, all of you,

as at a leaning kir (wall),

and as at a tottering gader (fence).

5 Truly they consult to bring down a person of prominence;

they delight in kazav (lie, falsehood, deceptive thing);

they make a brocha with their mouth,

but they curse inwardly.

Selah

6 Truly in Elohim wait silently,*62:6 in submission my nefesh,

for my tikvah (hope) is from Him.

7 Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshu’ah (salvation);

He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

8 In Elohim is my salvation and my Kavod:

the Tzur of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.

9 Trust in Him at all time ye people,

pour out your lev before Him;

Elohim is a refuge for us.

Selah

10 Truly Bnei Adam (those of low estate) are hevel (vanity),

and Bnei Ish (those who are highborn) are kazav (a lie);

they go up in the balances;

they are altogether lighter than hevel (vanity).

11 Trust not in oshek (oppression, extortion)

and become not vain in gazel (the thing taken as plunder);

if riches increase,

set not your lev upon them.

12 Elohim hath spoken once;

twice have I heard this;

that oz (strength) belongeth unto Elohim.

13 Also unto Thee, Adonoi, belongeth chesed;

for Thou renderest to ish (every man) according to his ma’asim (deeds).
