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.

To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is 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; my high fortress: 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 assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or 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 excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)

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

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; 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; my high fortress: 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, my refuge is in God.

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

Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (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.

Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up 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.

Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

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

Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

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

And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
