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.

1 Vir die musiekleier; op die wysie van: "Jedutun." 'n Psalm van Dawid.

2 Ja, my siel is stil tot God; van Hom is my heil.

3 Hy alleen is my rots en my heil, my rotsvesting; ek sal nie grootliks wankel nie.

4 Hoe lank sal julle aanstorm op 'n man, julle almal hom verbrysel soos 'n muur wat oorhang, 'n omgestote klipmuur?

5 Ja, hulle hou raad om hom van sy hoogte af te stoot; hulle het behae in leuens; met hul mond seën hulle, maar met hul binneste vloek hulle. Sela.

6 Wees net maar stil tot God, my siel, want van Hom is my verwagting!

7 Sekerlik, Hy is my rots en my heil, my rotsvesting; ek sal nie wankel nie.

8 By God is my heil en my eer; die rots van my sterkte, my toevlug is in God.

9 Vertrou op Hom altyd, o volk! Stort julle hart uit voor sy aangesig! God is 'n toevlug vir ons. Sela.

10 Ja, nietigheid is die mensekinders, leuens is die aansienlikes; in die weegskaal moet hulle opgaan, almal saam is hulle minder as nietigheid.

11 Vertrou nie op verdrukking en bou geen ydele hoop op rowery nie; as die vermoë aangroei, sit daar die hart nie op nie!

12 Een ding het God gespreek, twee is dit wat ek gehoor het: dat die sterkte aan God behoort, [ (Psalms 62:13) en aan U, o Here, behoort die goedertierenheid; want U vergeld elkeen na sy werk. ]
