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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, The rock of my strength, 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, O people, Pour forth 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.

Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

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.

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 two things: that power belongs to God,

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

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

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