Psalms 62

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

TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] 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, My tower, I am not much moved.

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.

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 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)

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

For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] 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, My tower, I am not moved.

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

On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, The rock of my strength, 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 forth your heart before Him, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

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.

Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

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

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

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

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

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

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