Psalms 62

1 To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

My soul waits in silence for God only. From him is my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.

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

3 How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)

They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

My soul, wait thou in silence for God only, for my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.

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

7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

With God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (Selah)

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

9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than vanity.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart on it.

11 Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.

God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

12 And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Also to thee, O Lord, belongs loving kindness, for thou render to every man according to his work.
