Psalms 62

1 Truly my soul waiteth upon Elohim: from him cometh my salvation.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 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.

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay [him], all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

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)

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

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

My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be moved.

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

With 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: Elohim 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 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.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

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

Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].

11 Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto Elohim.

God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

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

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
