·
2 Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
62:1 Al Músico principal: á Jeduthún: Salmo de David. EN Dios solamente está acallada mi alma: de él [viene] mi salud.
3 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
62:2 El solamente es mi fuerte, y mi salud; [es] mi refugio, no resbalaré mucho.
4 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
62:3 ¿Hasta cuándo maquinaréis contra un hombre? Pereceréis todos vosotros, [caeréis] como pared acostada, como cerca ruinosa.
5 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
62:4 Solamente consultan de arrojarle de su grandeza; aman la mentira, con su boca bendicen, pero maldicen en sus entrañas. (Selah.)
6 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
62:5 Alma mía, en Dios solamente reposa; porque de él es mi esperanza.
7 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
62:6 El solamente es mi fuerte y mí salud: [es] mi refugio, no resbalaré.
8 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
62:7 En Dios está mi salvación y mi gloria: en Dios está la roca de mi fortaleza, y mi refugio.
9 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
62:8 Esperad en él en todo tiempo, oh pueblos; derramad delante de él vuestro corazón: Dios es nuestro amparo. (Selah.)
10 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
62:9 Por cierto, vanidad son los hijos de los hombres, mentira los hijos de varón: pesándolos á todos igualmente en la balanza, serán menos que la vanidad.
11 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
62:10 No confiéis en la violencia, ni en la rapiña; no os envanezcáis: si se aumentare la hacienda, no pongáis el corazón [en ella].
12 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
62:11 Una vez habló Dios; dos veces he oído esto: Que de Dios es la fortaleza.
13 And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
62:12 Y de ti, oh Señor, es la misericordia: porque tú pagas á cada uno conforme á su obra.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 62.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    Also unto Thee, O God, belongeth mercy: for Thou wilt render unto every man according to his works." Now the expression, "Once hath He spoken," is to be understood as meaning "immovably," that is, unchangeably hath He spoken, inasmuch as He knows unchangeably all things which shall be, and all things which He will do.
