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. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.

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

Only — He [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?

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, 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 excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. (Selah)

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

Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.

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

Only — He [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 honour, 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 before Him your heart, 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.

Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

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 in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.

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

Once hath 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 Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
