Psalms 62

1 For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.

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

2 He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.

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

3 How long are you going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed 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 They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. (Selah)

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 Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.

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

6 He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.

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

7 My salvation and my success come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.

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

8 My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. (Selah)

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

9 Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!

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 Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.

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

11 God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.

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

12 You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.

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