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 leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
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 safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
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 continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending 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 study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
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 safeguard, —I shall not fall.
7 In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is 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, ye 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.
Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
11 God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.
12 And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
