Psalms 62

1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

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

2 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

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

3 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and 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 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

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 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

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

6 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

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

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

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

8 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

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

9 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

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 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

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

11 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

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

12 And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.

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