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 OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] from Him.

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

He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

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

Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

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.

Only—from his excellence They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, And revile with their heart. (Selah)

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

For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] from Him.

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

He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

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

On 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.

Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth 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 vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

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

Do not trust in oppression, And do not become vain in robbery, Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.

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

Once has God spoken, twice I heard this, That “strength [is] with God.”

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

And with You, O Lord, [is] kindness, For You repay to each, According to his work!
