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 OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] 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, My tower, I am not much 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?

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 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)

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

For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] 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, My tower, I am not moved.

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

On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, The rock of my strength, 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 forth 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 vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

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

Do not trust in oppression, And do not become vain in robbery, Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.

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

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

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

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