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.

For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

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

For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

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 assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

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 took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)

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

Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

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

For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, 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.

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

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

Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)

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

But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.

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

Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

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

God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

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

and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
