Psalms 62

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

TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] from Him.

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

He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

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

Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

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)

Only—from his excellence They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, And revile with their heart. (Selah)

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

For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] from Him.

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

He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

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

On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

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 at all times, O people, Pour forth your heart before Him, God [is] a refuge for us. (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.

Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

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

Do not trust in oppression, And do not become vain in robbery, Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.

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

Once has God spoken, twice I heard this, That “strength [is] with God.”

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

And with You, O Lord, [is] kindness, For You repay to each, According to his work!
