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.

“To the chief musician, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: 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 devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling wall, 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)

Yea, from his height do they take counsel to cast [him] down; they delight in lies: with their mouth do they bless, but inwardly do they curse. (Selah)

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

Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.

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

Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: 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 are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are 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 ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection 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.

Verily nought are the sons of common men, a lie the sons of the great; they must rise in the balance; they are altogether [lighter] than nought.

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

Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].

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

Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: that strength belongeth unto God.

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

And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
