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.

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

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

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

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 you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or 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 fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.

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

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

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

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

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

My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; 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, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.

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.

Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

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

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

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

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

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

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