2 [Nonne Deo subjecta erit anima mea? ab ipso enim salutare meum.
62:1 Al Músico principal: á Jeduthún: Salmo de David. EN Dios solamente está acallada mi alma: de él [viene] mi salud.
62:1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
3 Nam et ipse Deus meus et salutaris meus; susceptor meus, non movebor amplius.
62:2 El solamente es mi fuerte, y mi salud; [es] mi refugio, no resbalaré mucho.
62:2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
4 Quousque irruitis in hominem? interficitis universi vos, tamquam parieti inclinato et maceriæ depulsæ.
62:3 ¿Hasta cuándo maquinaréis contra un hombre? Pereceréis todos vosotros, [caeréis] como pared acostada, como cerca ruinosa.
62:3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
5 Verumtamen pretium meum cogitaverunt repellere; cucurri in siti: ore suo benedicebant, et corde suo maledicebant.
62:4 Solamente consultan de arrojarle de su grandeza; aman la mentira, con su boca bendicen, pero maldicen en sus entrañas. (Selah.)
62:4 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.
6 Verumtamen Deo subjecta esto, anima mea, quoniam ab ipso patientia mea:
62:5 Alma mía, en Dios solamente reposa; porque de él es mi esperanza.
62:5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
7 quia ipse Deus meus et salvator meus, adjutor meus, non emigrabo.
62:6 El solamente es mi fuerte y mí salud: [es] mi refugio, no resbalaré.
62:6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
8 In Deo salutare meum et gloria mea; Deus auxilii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.
62:7 En Dios está mi salvación y mi gloria: en Dios está la roca de mi fortaleza, y mi refugio.
62:7 My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
9 Sperate in eo, omnis congregatio populi; effundite coram illo corda vestra: Deus adjutor noster in æternum.
62:8 Esperad en él en todo tiempo, oh pueblos; derramad delante de él vuestro corazón: Dios es nuestro amparo. (Selah.)
62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
10 Verumtamen vani filii hominum, mendaces filii hominum in stateris, ut decipiant ipsi de vanitate in idipsum.
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.
62:9 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.
11 Nolite sperare in iniquitate, et rapinas nolite concupiscere; divitiæ si affluant, nolite cor apponere.
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].
62:10 Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
12 Semel locutus est Deus; duo hæc audivi: quia potestas Dei est,
62:11 Una vez habló Dios; dos veces he oído esto: Que de Dios es la fortaleza.
62:11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
13 et tibi, Domine, misericordia: quia tu reddes unicuique juxta opera sua.]
62:12 Y de ti, oh Señor, es la misericordia: porque tú pagas á cada uno conforme á su obra.
62:12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

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).
The title of it doth not detain us. For it is "Unto the end, in hymns, to David himself. "In hymns," to wit in praises. "Unto the end," to wit unto Christ....But the voice in this Psalm (if we are among the members of Him, and in the Body, even as upon His exhortation we have the boldness to trust) …

For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." And again: "They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." And again it saith, "They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue; but their heart was not right with Him, neither …
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.

Hast thou not heard, "If riches increase, set not your heart upon them?" Lo, thou art getting, thou art disquieted, not fruitlessly indeed, still in vain.
