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 end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.

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

For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.

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 ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.

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 only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)

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

Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.

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

For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.

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

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

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

Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)

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.

But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.

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

Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.

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

God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;

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

and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
