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 Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; 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, 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, as a leaning wall, 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 devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting 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.

Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

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 tower, I shall not be moved.

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

Upon God resteth 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.

Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, 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 put not vain hope 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 strength 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 mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
