Psalms 62
1 To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.
For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.
2 Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.
He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
3 How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.
How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?
4 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)
They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.
5 Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
6 Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
7 In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.
8 Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge.
9 Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.
Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.
10 Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
11 God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
12 And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
