Psalms 62

1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

2 Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart.

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

4 So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.

They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.

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

6 For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.

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 Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on 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 two things: that power belongs to God,

God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

12 and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.

Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
