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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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