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 OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] from Him.

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

He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much 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.

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

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

For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] from Him.

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

He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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