Psalms 62
1 To the excelletn musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of David. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.
God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
2 Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.
Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
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.
When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
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)
My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
5 Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
6 Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.
Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
7 In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
8 Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. (Selah)
[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
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.
People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
10 Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
11 God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
12 And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.
and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
