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.

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

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

For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

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 do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and 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.

But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

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

But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

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

For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

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

In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope 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, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

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.

But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

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 iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

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

God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

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

And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
