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.

To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.

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

Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.

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 wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.

4 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. (Selah)

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

Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.

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

Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.

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 saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.

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

Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (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.

Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

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

Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

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

God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,

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

And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
