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. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.

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

Only — He [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?

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, 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 excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. (Selah)

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

Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.

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

Only — He [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 honour, 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 before Him your heart, 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.

Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

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

Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.

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

Once hath 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 Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
