< Psalms 62 >
1 Truly my soul waits on God: from him comes my salvation.
To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
Only — He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.
3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? you shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall you be, and as a tottering fence.
Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
Only — from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. (Selah)
5 My soul, wait you only on God; for my expectation is from him.
Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
Only — He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 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.
Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.
11 God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs to God.
Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That 'strength [is] with God.'
12 Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to every man according to his work.
And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
