Psalms 62

1 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4 They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth to God.

12 Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Also to thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
