Salmi, 62

1. Al maestro del coro. Su «Iduthun». Salmo. Di Davide.

1. psalmus David cum esset in deserto Judææ

2. Solo in Dio riposa l'anima mia; da lui la mia salvezza.

2. Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo sitivit in te anima mea quam multipliciter tibi caro mea

3. Lui solo è mia rupe e mia salvezza, mia roccia di difesa: non potrò vacillare.

3. in terra deserta et invia et inaquosa sic in sancto apparui tibi ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam

4. Fino a quando vi scaglierete contro un uomo, per abbatterlo tutti insieme, come muro cadente, come recinto che crolla?

4. quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas labia mea laudabunt te

5. Tramano solo di precipitarlo dall'alto, si compiacciono della menzogna. Con la bocca benedicono, e maledicono nel loro cuore.

5. sic benedicam te in vita mea in nomine tuo levabo manus meas

6. Solo in Dio riposa l'anima mia, da lui la mia speranza.

6. sicut adipe et pinguidine repleatur anima mea et labia exultationis laudabit os meum

7. Lui solo è mia rupe e mia salvezza, mia roccia di difesa: non potrò vacillare.

7. si memor fui tui super stratum meum in matutinis meditabar in te

8. In Dio è la mia salvezza e la mia gloria; il mio saldo rifugio, la mia difesa è in Dio.

8. quia fuisti adiutor meus et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo

9. Confida sempre in lui, o popolo, davanti a lui effondi il tuo cuore, nostro rifugio è Dio.

9. adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua

10. Sì, sono un soffio i figli di Adamo, una menzogna tutti gli uomini, insieme, sulla bilancia, sono meno di un soffio.

10. ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam introibunt in inferiora terræ

11. Non confidate nella violenza, non illudetevi della rapina; alla ricchezza, anche se abbonda, non attaccate il cuore.

11. tradentur in manus gladii partes vulpium erunt

12. Una parola ha detto Dio, due ne ho udite: il potere appartiene a Dio, tua, Signore, è la grazia;

12. rex vero lætabitur in Deo laudabitur omnis qui jurat in eo quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua

13. secondo le sue opere tu ripaghi ogni uomo.

13.

Verses related to Salmi, 62:

Psalm 62, by David, is a declaration of unshakable trust in God. Why does the psalmist wait silently on God? This powerful text affirms God as the only source of salvation and honor. The psalm explores themes of patience, exclusive faith, and the vanity of trust in riches or human power. Psalm 62 offers a transformative perspective on true security and rest in God. Consider with us five biblical passages that amplify the fundamental principles of this uplifting psalm.

Isaiah 26:4: "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord alone, is the eternal Rock." - This passage reinforces the central theme of Psalm 62 about trusting in God alone.

Jeremiah 17:5-8: "Thus says the Lord: 'Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings, who makes mortal humanity his strength, but whose heart turns away from the Lord.'" - This text elaborates on the contrast between trusting in God and trusting in man, a theme addressed in Psalm 62.

Matthew 6:19-21: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven..." - This passage reflects the theme of Psalm 62:10 about not trusting in riches.

1 Timothy 6:17: "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant, nor to place their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides us with everything for our satisfaction." - This verse echoes the warning in Psalm 62:10 against trusting in riches.

Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever." - This passage reflects the immutability of God, a theme implicit in Psalm 62 when describing God as a rock and fortress.
