Psalms 62

1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay [him], all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.

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

5 Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

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

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be moved.

7 My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.

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

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.

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

9 Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

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.

10 Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].

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

God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

12 and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
