Psalms 62

1 My soul waits in silence for God only. From him is my salvation.

To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be greatly moved.

Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.

3 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.

4 They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)

5 My soul, wait thou in silence for God only, for my expectation is from him.

Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be moved.

Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.

7 With God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.

8 Trust in him at all times, ye people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than vanity.

Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart on it.

Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,

12 Also to thee, O Lord, belongs loving kindness, for thou render to every man according to his work.

And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
